http://www.pushinthebay.com - PTBTV aka Pushin' The Bay EXCLUSIVE! In this PTBTV exclusive / raw video, Ray Luv sits down with multi-platinum recording group, Good Charlotte representing Maryland and Los Angeles as well as LA's very own, Young Dre. Good Charlotte tells PTBTV viewers why they love the Bay Area while Young Dre talks about the impact and soul of Good Charlotte.

Good Charlotte is an American rock band from Waldorf, Maryland that formed in 1996. They took their name from the children's book called "Good Charlotte: The Girls Of Good Day Orphanage," written by Carol Beach York.

The members of the band are the identical twin brothers Joel (lead vocals) and Benji Madden (guitars and backing vocals), Billy Martin (guitars and keyboards), Paul Thomas (bass guitar) and Dean Butterworth (drums and percussion).

Good Charlotte started out by playing at small venues. They soon caught the attention of post-grunge band, Lit, whose song "My Own Worst Enemy" was a chart topper at the time. Good Charlotte lost the opening slot on Lit's East Coast tour in 1999. Soon after, Good Charlotte played some dates with the band Blink-182, who had just experienced mainstream success with their album, "Enema of the State". All of this caught the attention of major music labels, and Good Charlotte eventually signed with Epic Records in 1999.

The band made multiple U.S. and international TV appearances in support of the album. First, Good Charlotte appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on April 9 2007, the Outdoor Stage on Jimmy Kimmel Live on April 11, and on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson on April 27. Joel and Benji Madden, Good Charlotte's lead singer and guitarist respectively, co-hosted the Australian MTV Video Music Awards with Fergie on April 29 2007 where the band also won the "Viewers Choice Australia" award for "Keep Your Hands Off My Girl". In August 2007, the band embarked on Justin Timberlake's FutureSex/LoveShow tour, as Timberlake's opening act. Good Charlotte supported Timberlake throughout his second leg North American dates. They were present for the August 16, 2007 show in Madison Square Garden, which was taped for a HBO broadcast.

In 2008, Good Charlotte appeared on the Three 6 Mafia track off of their new CD Last 2 Walk called "My Own Way".

Recently in concert, Good Charlotte has been covering "Lovesong" by The Cure. Joel dedicates it to his newly born daughter. In a recent TV broadcast, Joel stated that "If you don't like The Cure, you can kiss my ass." He then stated "Excuse my language, it's just very passionate."
