Saviors

After 2020’s Father of All Motherfuckers bucked expectations to impressive effect by ditching the politics and most of their punk trappings for more of a garage-rock style, Green Day’s 14th album finds them reverting to type. From the opening The American Dream Is Killing Me in, there’s a sense of weary resignation, the lyrics frequently painting a bleak portrait of contemporary US life, from “People on the street/ Unemployed and obsolete” to “Grandma’s on the fentanyl now”. Although given that frontman Billie Joe…

“Put your phones away!” Billie Joe Armstrong barked to 1,100 lucky Green Day fans that crammed into New York’s Irving Plaza Thursday night for a special SiriusXM concert celebrating the release of of their new LP, Saviors. “Put them away! Just enjoy the moment. The last thing we need is for fuckin’ Elon Musk to be bitchin’ about anything anymore.” He was referring to Musk’s New Year’s day Tweet where he said Green Day went from “raging against the machine to milquetoastedly (sic) raging for it” because they dared…

Green Day rang in the new year by irking the richest man in the world.Singing the California punk trio’s George W. Bush-era “American Idiot” on “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve With Ryan Seacrest,” frontman Billie Joe Armstrong tweaked a lyric about Bush’s “redneck agenda” to register his disgust with the “MAGA agenda” that former President Trump hopes to bring back to the Oval Office. Conservative pundits and other figures on the right promptly freaked out, including Elon Musk, who told his 168 million followers on…

Green Day bassist Mike Dirnt headed into 2024 knowing his band was going to be a big topic of conversation throughout the year. Their new album Saviors arrives Jan. 19, they’ll spend the summer on a massive stadium tour with Smashing Pumpkins and Rancid, and they’re celebrating the anniversaries of two career-making albums: 30 years of Dookie and 20 of American Idiot. What he didn’t expect was that his trio — with singer Billie Joe Armstrong and drummer Tré Cool — would draw heavy fire from the right literally…

Three decades ago, Green Day‘s Billie Joe Armstrong was sarcastically singing “Welcome to Paradise.” Now at age 51, he’s staidly singing, “Welcome to my problems,” on “Dilemma,” a plaintive, swinging rocker on Green Day’s 14th LP, Saviors, which owes a debt to Fifties rock and the Ramones. “I was sober now I’m drunk again,” he wails in the chorus, “I’m in trouble and in love again/I don’t want to be a dead man walking.” It’s one of the album’s best songs and, as another pop-punk trio once put it, well, I guess this is…

Track will appear on the band's upcoming 14th studio album, Saviors Fresh off of somehow managing to shock conservatives with their famously anti-Trump, left-of-center political views, Green Day are back with a new song, “One Eyed Bastard.” The track begins with a classic heavy metal riff before launching into the kind of bruising, big guitar anthems Green Day was delivering on American Idiot (the careening power chords even bear a slight resemblance to “Holiday”). “Vendetta is a friend of…

But there are always opportunities to be made, even in a bear market like this. Mehracki (MKI):…
