So it’s official – everyone’s favourite punk trio Green Day are back with a new album, and have released a lyric video for spanking new track ‘Bang Bang’.
The new album, Revolution Radio, will be available for fans to get their hands on from October 7, and is available to pre-order right now on the band’s website – and there are a few options that have us rubbing our hands together in excitement.
The pre-order of the CD comes with a 32-page hardback book crammed with bonus photos, art and lyrics, and of course fans will get a downloadable version of Revolution Radio on October 7. If that isn’t quite enough, the band are also offering a 12” red vinyl of the album, which looks pretty cool.
But enough with all the technicalities; and back to new single ‘Bang Bang’.
If you’re nostalgic for 1994’s Dookie then this should give you your fix. It’s everything that we love about Green Day. Despite their four-year absence (yes, four!) the trio seem to have jumped straight back into what they are best at – political, angry rock that will definitely get you riled up!
It’s fast, punchy, and very, very catchy. The lyrics are clever, just as you would expect, and most bands probably wouldn’t consider releasing the first single from a new album which is written from the perspective of a mass shooter – but Green Day aren’t most bands.
In summary, ‘Bang Bang’ has got us very excited for October 7 and the release of Revolution Radio. It’s bound to be full of angry, punky riffs and pressing social issues commenting on the chaotic state of America in 2016, and we can’t wait to hear it!
