Good Charlotte Bring Greetings From California Back as a Good Charlotte Album
Good Charlotte have reissued Greetings From California, and this time it carries the Good Charlotte name. The expanded edition came out on 6 November 2026 via MDDN/Atlantic, after being announced on 14 October.
The backstory is a curious one. The album first appeared in 2014 under the name The Madden Brothers, the project of twin brothers Joel and Benji Madden, and it was taken off streaming services about a year later. Now it returns as an official Good Charlotte release. In their statement, the brothers said that more than twelve years ago they made the album as The Madden Brothers, and that they put time and care into repackaging it. Their closing line: "The journey was the destination, all along."
Three new versions
The reissue adds three reimagined bonus tracks. "U R" features Ziggy Marley and was already shared as a single. "Jealousy (All Your Friends In Silverlake)" is redone with Eyedress, and "We Are Done" appears as a live version from the Motel Du Cap Tour. The Music Universe reports the live take was recorded in Sydney during the Australian and New Zealand leg of that tour, and that it was released through Atlantic Records.
Vinyl for Record Store Day
If you want it on wax, a limited-edition 2-LP version with the three bonus tracks and new cover art is set for Record Store Day on Friday, 27 November 2026, at participating independent retailers. The expanded album is available on streaming services now.
