Benji and Joel Madden (Good Charlotte) recently announced that the band will be going on hiatus.

Benji revealed in an interview with Rolling Stone:

“We’re stepping away from the grind of making records and touring for a minute, just to have fun and be creative like we were when we were 15.”

The Madden brothers also announced that they will be releasing a free mixtape in October, entitled Before The Fame: The Madden Brothers, featuring new artists such as Machine Gun Kelly and Rockie Fresh.

Joel Madden made the following comment:

“We’re already having a blast in our studio with all these new artists making music just for fun. And the mix tape’s free, they’re gonna get it for free, there’s no quota we’re trying to fill, there’s no machine we’re trying to fuel, we just want to make music with new artists and god bless EMI, they let us do what we want.”
