Green Day
American rock band Green Day announced their latest record on October 24. Titled Saviors, this will be the band’s 14th studio album, expected to hit shelves on January 19. Making a splash, they launched their first single, The American Dream Is Killing Me, pointing to a new era after their 2020 release, Father of All Motherf–kers.
Dark aesthetics: The noir-inspired video
The accompanying music video drips with post-apocalyptic charm. Directed by Brendan Walter and Ryan Baxley, it plunges viewers into a zombie-laden world, reminiscent of older horror classics. Billie Joe Armstrong, the band's heart and voice, emphasized the track's significance. He revealed it as a critique of the elusive American Dream that's betraying many.

Old ties and new ventures
Green Day's history is rich, collaborating again with Grammy-winning producer Rob Cavallo, reminding fans of the Dookie and American Idiot days. Alongside their album drop, a US tour announcement took the limelight, featuring The Smashing Pumpkins, Rancid, and The Linda Lindas.
With Saviors gearing up for release, it's an opportune moment to revisit some of Green Day's defining tracks that have left an indelible mark on punk rock.
The Grouch (Nimrod, 1997): An underrated gem capturing youthful angst, merging early Green Day vibes with evolved musicality.
Longview (Dookie, 1994): Arguably their most defining track, a raw representation of their roots, coupled with daring songwriting.
Basket Case (Dookie, 1994): A track that echoes in the minds of fans - memorable, haunting, and utterly punk.
Jesus Of Suburbia (American Idiot, 2004): A multi-layered track, narrating a coming-of-age story in a post-9/11 world, both rebellious and profound.
St. Jimmy (American Idiot, 2004): Representing the fierce spirit of punk, this track captures Green Day's unyielding energy, reminding fans why they remain titans in the genre.
