Prepped and ready to release their 14th album ‘Saviors’ in January, Green Day is giving their fans another taste of the upcoming LP by dropping their ‘Dilemma’ single later this week.
Following their recent hits ‘The American Dream Is Killing Me’ and ‘Look Ma, No Brains!’ the pop punk legends took to their Instagram, confirming the new song will be available on Thursday 912.07,) and writing “Throwing a rager of a holiday party. Dilemma is out everywhere on Thursday, come by then to check it out.”
Made up of Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tre Cool, the legendary rockers new collection marks the trio’s first new material since 2020’s ‘Father of All…’, which followed 2016’s ‘Revolution Radio’ and 2012’s triple album project ‘¡Uno! ¡Dos! ¡Tré!’
Addressing the band’s approach, frontman Billie Joe recently told Kerrang! magazine:
“When I think about [2004 album] ‘American Idiot’, I think of where ‘Nimrod’ and ‘Warning’ were these records where we were in the studio learning, and trying to further our musical knowledge.” “That’s sort of the way that I feel right now, too, because ‘Father Of All…’ was one of those moments where we were like, ‘Let’s try something new.” “We learned so much from it, and it’s like it has a baby called ‘Saviors!’ “
The group’s bass guitrist Mike Dirnt insisted the new record honors the bands roots with “energy and melody” while pushing their sound in a “fresh” direction, adding “I can hear bits of each album on this record, even though it sounds fresh and new.’ “I feel like if there’s any words that always come back to Green Day, it’s energy and melody – and this record has all those things in abundance.”
