From Motel Du Cap (2025). Motel Du Cap is the eighth album by the American rock band Good Charlotte, released on August 8, 2025, under Atlantic Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Good Charlotte's other songs from Motel Du Cap, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
