Produced by
Green Day and recorded in Oakland, Revolution
Radio is a potent 12-track blitz of angst-ridden anthems that unites Green Day's fully formed stylistic approach with lyrical themes that address the complexities and uncertainties of modern day existence. Musically, the album is raw, visceral, and fearless -- solidifying the band's reign as one of the leading voices in rock music. The first single, "
Bang Bang", released today and inspired by recent events, marks a welcome return from a band with more to say than ever.
"Of course the world has lost its collective mind... and me, Mike and Tr� are lost souls too," said
Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong. "Revolution
Radio is a movement for lost souls to come together... dance together... sing together... and most of all, find each other. That's what the spirit of
Green Day has been about since day one."

ABOUT GREEN DAY:
Green Day is an American punk rock band composed of vocalist/guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong, bassist Mike Dirnt, and drummer Tr� Cool. Formed in 1986,
Green Day was originally part of the punk scene at the DIY 924 Gilman Street club in Berkeley, California. The band's early releases were with the independent record label Lookout! Records. In 1994, its major label debut Dookie (released through Reprise Records) became a breakout success and eventually sold over 10 million copies in the United States.
Green Day was widely credited with popularizing and reviving mainstream interest in punk rock in the United States. Green Day's follow up albums Insomniac (1995) and Nimrod (1997) each sold over two million albums and were certified
Double Platinum, and Warning (2000) was certified Platinum. 2004 brought the band's rock opera American Idiot which reignited the band's popularity with a younger generation and sold over six million copies in the United States.
