Global rock superstars Green Day – Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, and Tré Cool – have unveiled their highly anticipated 14th studio album ‘Saviors.’ The album features previously released bombastic tracks ‘One Eyed Bastard,’ ‘Dilemma,’ ‘Look Ma, No Brains!,’ and ‘The American Dream Is Killing Me.’ Along with the record, the band released a video for the new track ‘Bobby Sox,’ which has all the classic punk rock panache that only Green Day can deliver. Also, it has Zulu’s Anaiah Rasheed Muhammad front-flipping off a roof into the crowd, so you know it’s good!
“‘Bobby Sox’ is one of my favorite songs on the album,” shares Billie Joe Armstrong. “It’s the Nineties song that we never wrote. It started out being a song I wrote for my wife but as it materialized, I wanted to switch it up and added, ‘Do you wanna be my boyfriend?’ on top of ‘Do you wanna be girlfriend’… So the song becomes a kind of universal anthem.”
Over the last few months, Green Day have given fans a taste of what to expect from their forthcoming world tour with surprise performances around the world. Whether they were packing a pub in the U.K. for an impromptu intimate performance, or rocking out with diehard fans at a sold-out surprise show in Las Vegas just days before their killer headline sets at When We Were Young Festival, Green Day made sure to bring the energy leading up to the birth of ‘Saviors.’
Recorded in London and Los Angeles, ‘Saviors’ is the latest powerful collaboration between Green Day and Grammy-winning producer Rob Cavallo, whose notable previous work with Green Day includes two of the band’s most iconic albums, 1994’s ‘Dookie’ and 2004’s ‘American Idiot.’
Green Day’s larger-than-life global stadium tour – The Saviors Tour, fueled by Monster Energy – kicks off in Europe this May before making its way to North America in July for an intoxicating summer run through the states. Earlier this week, the band revealed on Howard Stern’s SiriusXM show that, for the first time ever, they’ll be performing both ‘Dookie’ and ‘American Idiot’ albums in their entirety this summer in celebration of their 2024 milestone anniversaries, along with fan favorites and cuts off the new album.
