Good Charlotte share music video for 'Shadowboxer'
Good Charlotte have released ‘Shadowboxer’, the second single off their anxiously-awaited seventh studio album, GENERATION RX.
The band also released an accompanying music video for the track, directed by Jake Stark. In line with GENERATION RX’s lyrical themes, the video for ‘Shadowboxer’ is a solitary look at what appear to be everyday people confronting the pain and struggle that is reflected back at them as they look at themselves the mirror. Such pain is often not visible to others as the stigma of mental health issues forces many people to suffer in silence.
GENERATION RX represents both a new chapter and full circle moment for the group - brothers Joel [vocals] and Benji Madden [guitar, vocals], Billy Martin [guitar], Paul Thomas [bass], and Dean Butterworth [drums].
Powered by punk spirit, rock songcraft, and cinematic ambition, they retain the signature vitality and vulnerability of their formative years, while delivering an urgent, unafraid, and undeniable message befitting of two decades in the game.
The quintet craft intricate, yet infectious anthems of hope for a generation under the shadow of the Opioid epidemic, icons gone too soon, mass tragedy, loneliness, and confusion.
Produced by Zakk Corvine and Benji during intimate sessions at MDDN headquarters, the record finds Good Charlotte doing what they do best - speaking directly to the youth.
