Biography

Frontmen Joel and Benji Madden grew up in the town of Waldorf, Maryland. They started the band in 1996 when they recruited childhood friends Paul Thomas (bass) and Aaron Escolopio (drums). They soon moved to Annapolis and met Billy Martin through a mutual interest in the band Silverchair.

Escolopio left the band in early 2001 to join the band Wakefield with his brother. He was replaced with Dusty, who left the band before the recording of their second album, The Young & the Hopeless. As a result, Josh Freese plays on that album.
