It's raw and emotional. Funny and disturbing. It’s a laugh at the pain, weep in the happiness kind of record."
They add that the new album is about "Power pop, punk, rock, indie triumph. disease, war, inequality, influencers, yoga retreats, alt right, dating apps, masks, MENTAL HEALTH, climate change, oligarchs, social media division, free weed, fentanyl, fragility,,.."
Before the new album drops, Green Day will be performing at Tim Hortons Field in Hamilton, ON for the 100th Grey Cup Halftime Show on November 19.
