Greetings from California will be the first studio album by The Madden Brothers, whose members consist of Joel and Benji Madden from the pop punk band Good Charlotte, which is set for release on September 12, 2014. The album's first single, "We Are Done", premiered on May 30, 2014 on 102.7 KIIS FM. The music video for the single premiered on June 30, 2014[1] and on July 7, 2014, "We Are Done" reached #1 on the Australian iTunes songs chart.[2] The album was made available for pre-ordering on the iTunes Store on July 4, 2014 with "California Rain" made available for immediate download.

The Madden Brothers' official website states that Greetings from California will be split into two "sides". The first filled with upbeat, sunny pop rock produced by their long-time collaborator Eric Valentine, who also produced Good Charlotte's The Young and the Hopeless and The Chronicles of Life and Death. Side two is produced by Joe Chiccarelli, wherein "the Maddens’ radiant sibling harmonies are again front and center on songs like 'California Rain' and 'Brother,' but the music is more earthy, with a warm blend of folk, southern rock, and ’70s-era FM pop."[3] In a Facebook Q&A session, the brothers mentioned that Pharrell Williams co-wrote two songs on the album, and that Ryan Adams will be featured in another song.[4]
