Reprise

Green Day is an American punk rock band formed in 1986. The band consists of lead vocalist and guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong, bassist and backing vocalist Mike Dirnt, and drummer Tré Cool. Known for their energetic performances and catchy songs, Green Day has become one of the most successful punk bands of all time.
With their breakthrough album "Dookie" in 1994, Green Day gained mainstream popularity and helped revive interest in punk rock. Their music often tackles social issues with a mix of humor and angst, resonating with fans around the world.
Over the years, Green Day has released numerous hit albums including "American Idiot," which won a Grammy Award for Best Rock Album. They continue to evolve their sound while staying true to their punk roots, making them a beloved band among both old and new fans alike.

Back In Stock

Green Day's second full album was the perfect dry run for the band's later assault on the mainstream, containing both more variety and more flat-out smashes than previous releases had shown. With Tre Cool now firmly in place as the drummer, the lineup was at last settled, and it turned out Cool and Mike Dirnt were a perfect rhythm section, with the former showing a bit more flash and ability than John Kiftmeyer did. Together the two throw in a variety of guitarless breaks that would later help to define the band's sound for many - warm and never letting the beat go. As for Billie Joe Armstrong, his puppy-dog delivery and eternal switching between snotty humor and sudden sorrrow was better than ever, as were his instantly memorable riffs. The metal-strength chug that always informed the band's best work isn't absent either - check out Armstrong's opening riffing on "Christie Road." the whole thing starts with a note-perfect bang - "2000 Light Years Away" is the absolute highlight of the group's premajor-label days, with a great chorus and classic yearning lyrics. It got buried in the wave of Dookie's success a bit, but one other number didn't - "Welcome to Paradise," also a standout on that album, appears here in it's original form. Rob Cavallo punched up the radio-friendly sound on the latter take, but even here it's a treat and a half - quick, rampaging, and once again with a great stop-start chorus to spare.
