Long description
Green Day slam-land just in time to give the current crop of pop punksters a lesson with their first original album album since 2000! Older and maybe a bit wiser, they’ve lost none of their scathing, sardonic wit and this could be the their best album yet. Features the catchy and controversial first single “American Idiot.”
