BAND HISTORY: 1 April
1994
Benji had never played the guitar until he was about 17 years old and
his brother Joel never had song before in his life.
The two twins decided to form one band; dedicated to the events that had
happened in the period of their lives, especially when it delt with
personal family ordeals they had faced at 16.
After forming the band, they went on a Beastie Boys tour called 'ill
comunication tour' to create music in professionally as a rock/punk
band! Joel and Benji Toss and their long time high school buddies,
drummer, Aaron, and bass player, Paul, (plus recent recruit Billy on
guitar) also joined the band.
When the drummer Aaron
abandoned the band, Good Charlotte had become offically drummerless.....untill
by 2003, Chris Wilson joined the team!
