Green Day announce new album, ‘Revolution Radio’, share new song ‘Bang Bang’

Green Day have announced details of a new album.

‘Revolution Radio’, the band’s twelfth studio album and follow-up to 2012’s ‘¡Uno!, ¡Dos!, ¡Tré!’ trilogy, will be released on 7th October, with lead song, ‘Bang Bang’, shared today via a nifty animated video.

The album was self-produced, recorded in Oakland, and in an interview with Rolling Stone, frontman Billie Joe Armstrong reveals is inspired by the political climate of the past few years (not unlike ‘American Idiot’ - ‘Bang Bang’ touches on both mass shootings and social media, for example). It’s also the first album since a series of tour cancellations made while Billie received treatment for drug addiction.
