Green Day is back on the music scene and their latest previews show us that they are back with everything on their new album, Revolution Radio., which will be released on October 7 through Reprise Records in the US and Warner Bros. Records in the rest of the world.
The Californian punk rock group released on August 11 'Bang Bang', the first single from the album, and a few days ago the single that gives its name to the album began to be released, 'Revolution Radio'. Prior to the launch of the new work, the band will begin their tour of the United States from next September 20.
Along with the presentation of the first single, singer and guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong commented to the press that 'Bang Bang' is a song that makes a direct reference to the culture that currently exists in part of the United States for the use of weapons. and the narcissism that exists in social networks. Armstrong also stressed that this entire album has a relationship with the problem of social violence that the United States is experiencing today..
Regarding this problem, Armstrong recently commented to the press: «I believe that today my role is not to speak, it is just to listen. Many white Americans should do the same, because they really do not know what the true experience of African Americans in this country is. There are people who are killed in the streets by police weapons for no reason and are put in damn jails because doing it now is a business, We have a serious problem in North America, and the first thing to do is find out more about these issues before giving an opinion. So shut your mouth, first listen to the experiences of the sufferers and learn something from that. "
Produced by Green Day and recorded in Oakland (San Francisco), 'Revolution Radio' is anticipated as «A real 12-track bomb with all the vocation of becoming future hymns of the group, which unite the traditional approach of Green Day with lyrics that address the complexities and uncertainties that are lived in our days. Musically 'Revolution Radio' can be defined as a raw, visceral and daring album, reaffirming the band's status as one of the most prominent and rebellious on the rock scene today. "
