Data Insight
Twelve of the thirteen tracks credit both Maddens, holding the pattern set in 2000, but the credit lines are the longest they have ever been: Mattias Bylund, Zakk Cervini, Jordan Fish, Jacob Kasher, Nick Long and Jake Torrey all appear. Thirty years in, the brothers are still on nearly every song and the room around them has grown.
Motel Du Cap is Good Charlotte's eighth album, released in August 2025 on Atlantic and MDDN, seven years after Generation Rx. It brings in a wider set of co-writers than any previous record, including Jordan Fish and Jacob Kasher.
