Green Day already working on new album
You would think that after their Grammy award winning album 21st Century Breakdown, touring behind the album, releasing their own Rock Band game and putting their American Idiot musical on Broadway this year, Green Day would want to rest up a bit.
But the Bay Area punks are already looking forward as they’ve begun work on the next album, according to singer Billie Joe Armstrong.
“We did some demos in Berlin, some in Stockholm, some just outside of Glasgow and some in Amsterdam,” Armstrong said to Kerrang!. “We wanted get [the songs] down in some early form.”
While this is definitely exciting news, I’m hoping that it also means the band is done writing these epic concept albums. While I’m a big fan of American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown holds a place in my record collection, I really want these guys to stop trying to save the world and just give us punk-rock again.
Have you tried releasing your teenage angst towards your parents by singing lyrics from “21 Guns”? Doesn’t exactly have the same impact as “Basket Case” would. Here’s hoping that we get a fast, loud and solid album filled with new anthems to get crazy to.
