One Direction band member, Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson, have been busy lately teaming up with Good Charlotte’s Joel and Benji Madden.

According to E! News, the Good Charlotte brothers met with the boy-band cuties to lay down new tracks for One Direction’s upcoming album.

Tomlinson tweeted on Friday, “Great working with the Good Charlotte boys today !!”

“Noice! The London boyz putting in tha werk in the studio #1D,” Joel Madden posted on his Tumblr page, alongside a photo of him with Benji and Liam.

Meanwhile, Harry Styles has been busy working with Irish band Kodaline. “In the studio with Harry Styles in LA wiritng a tune, sounds massive,” Kodaline tweeted. “He’s gone and done a drawing of us.”

Styles is rumored to have written 18 songs for X Factor USA duo Alex and Sierra’s first album, according to The Independent, including a song written with singer-songwriter John Legend.

Despite circulating rumors that the boys’ outside projects might be bad news for the band, and their three month hiatus, One Direction insists they have “no intention” of splitting up.
