Ahead of the forthcoming release of their 14th LP Saviors, Green Day is sharing one final single today entitled “One Eyed Bastard.” The track is preceded by releases “The American Dream Is Killing Me,” “Look Ma, No Brains!,” and “Dilemma.” Animated by Rob Fidel, the accompanying new visuals perfectly pair with the pure punk riffs, certifiably catchy choruses, and urgent, revenge-centric lyrics. Plus, now that Mickey Mouse is in the public domain, he also made an appearance. Check out the visuals and “One Eyed Bastard” song below. “’One Eyed Bastard’ started off as just a riff that I had —… Read more »
With 2024 swiftly underway, a wave of eagerly-awaited new singles, albums, and more are poised to make their way into the heavy rotation of our go-to playlists sooner than we realize. Unlike the previous year when Fireworks dropped their new collection, Higher Lonely Power—their first full-length since 2014’s Oh, Common Life—on New Year’s Day, we’ve had a moment to decompress from the holiday madness before diving headfirst into the new release calendar marked by the turn of the new year. Ranging from long-awaited releases such as Neck Deep’s self-titled album and Ghost Atlas’ first new collection since 2017, to debut… Read more »
As the release of their third album, How To Disappear, looms, Casey has unleashed the contemplative ballad “Selah.” The aptly titled record marks the group’s full-length return following the announcement of their 2018 disbandment and is set to debut on January 12 via Hassle Records. The group’s latest effort showcases a shift toward a quieter, more introspective tone compared to the album’s previous previews: “Puncture Wounds To Heaven,” “How To Disappear,” and “Bite Through My Tongue.” Rather than having their post-hardcore roots prominently on display, “Selah” flourishes with melancholic percussion, moody guitar melodies, and vocalist Tom Weaver’s reflective delivery. At… Read more »

Green Day has always been a politically charged band. It comes as no surprise that entering an election year in 2024, the trio would have something to say regarding the upcoming climate our nation will soon face. On New Year’s Eve, Green Day performed their classic hit, “American Idiot” on the televised Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve special. The group has sparked controversy with the choice to change lyrics from the original tune, which was already incredibly political to begin with. Frontman Billie Joe Armstrong changed the “American Idiot” lyrics from “I’m not a part of a redneck agenda”… Read more »

Green Day‘s music has always been rooted in politics. Take any of their singles as an example of this, especially when it comes to the likes of “Holiday” and “21 Guns,” which tackle the overall themes of war and American imperialism. In a recent Guardian interview, Green Day had the chance to expand upon the current political issues that are at the forefront of their minds and their music. With the release of their single “The American Dream Is Killing Me,” Billie Joe Armstrong sings, “The American Dream is killing me/When it’s all double-talk of conspiracy.” Conspiracy theories are actually… Read more »
