GREEN DAY Announces 'Saviors' Album
Архив новостей | Русская версия
Global rock superstars GREEN DAY — Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tré Cool — have returned with a fiery call to action on "The American Dream Is Killing Me", the first single and opening track from the group's 14th studio album "Saviors", due on January 19, 2024 via Reprise/Warner.
The band debuted "The American Dream Is Killing Me" and "Look Ma, No Brains!" off the new album live last weekend during their triumphant and electrifying Las Vegas, Nevada takeover, consisting of a sold-out surprise show at the 800-capacity Fremont and back-to-back headlining performances at When We Were Young festival.

"The American Dream Is Killing Me" was one of the last tracks written and recorded by GREEN DAY for "Saviors". "As soon we cut it, we said, 'Okay, that's going first,'" says Billie Joe Armstrong who describes the new song as "a look at the way the traditional American Dream doesn't work for a lot of people — in fact, it's hurting a lot of people."
Recorded in London and Los Angeles, "Saviors" is the latest powerful collaboration between GREEN DAY and Grammy-winning producer Rob Cavallo, whose notable previous work with GREEN DAY includes two of the band's most iconic albums, 1994's "Dookie" and 2004's "American Idiot". The record comes just ahead of "Dookie"'s 30th anniversary. Celebrations have already begun with the release of a massive deluxe edition of the album and a surprise show in Las Vegas where the band performed "Dookie" from front to back to a sold-out crowd of superfans.
GREEN DAY will perform this Thursday, October 26 as part of Amazon Music Live's concert series, and on November 19, the band is heading up north to headline the Twisted Tea Grey Cup Halftime Show for the 110th Grey Cup at Tim Hortons Field in Hamilton, Ontario.
Green Day's most recent album, Father Of All Motherfuckers, was released in 2020 to mixed reviews, with praise generally directed towards the album's songs but some criticism levelled at its surprisingly short runtime of twenty six minutes - making it by far the band's shortest full-length record.
