Green Day Working On New Album

Continuing our celebration of Saint Patrick's Day, we are serving up a double serving of Green with a second story! This time around we are focusing on a recent new rumor on the status of Green Day's follow up to their latest masterpiece!

Almost a year after releasing their eighth album, "21st Century Breakdown", rumors are already starting to circulate that the guys are working on the follow up.

According to Kerrang.com Billie Joe and his crew have been confirmed to have been to recording studios while on their European tour last October. The front-man is also reportedly promising the project will be done soon and fans wont have to wait a grueling five more years to hear new material.

Armstrong has told K magazine the group have been putting demos together whenever they could during downtime. “We did some demos in Berlin, some in Stockholm, some just outside of Glasgow and some in Amsterdam. We wanted get [the songs] down in some early form."

Could this be the EP they were talking about last year? Only time will tell what exactly is going on. All Kerrang is saying that to read the rest of this interview you need to pick up a copy of their magazines when it hits news stands this week! Either way, I'm very excited for the things to come.

As for now, Green Day is set to release "Green Day: Rock Band" on June 8th and do another leg of their North American tour on August 3rd with supporters, AFI.

The new songs previewed include the epic 8 minute track 'Won't Get Fooled Again,' the roaring politically charged 'Pinball Wizard,' and 'Baba O'Riley' which is rumored to feature a long violin solo. A title and release date for the new set has not yet been announced.
