Heads up for those diehard, passionate Green Day fans.
The band will be staging exclusive listening events of their new album 'Saviors' (released 19 January) this Saturday (13 January) in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane.By attending, fans will not only get to listen to the album before the rest of the globe but have the chance to win t-shirt and posters giveaways.
The band have released four singles lifted from 'Saviors': 'One Eyed Bastard', 'Dilemma', 'Look Me, No Brains!', and 'The American Dream Is Killing Me'.
"'Dilemma' was one of those songs that was kind of easy to write because it was so personal to me," lead vocalist and guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong explains.
"We've seen so many of our peers struggle with addiction and mental illness. This song is all about the pain that comes from those experiences."
'Saviors' is the follow-up to Green Day's 2020 album 'Father Of All ...', which debuted at #1 on the ARIA records chart.
"'Saviors' is an invitation into Green Day's brain, their collective spirit as a band, and an understanding of friendship, culture and legacy of the last 30 plus years," the band recently posted.
"It's raw and emotional. Funny and disturbing. It’s a laugh at the pain, weep in the happiness kind of record. Honesty and vulnerability.
"What is 'Saviors' about, you ask? 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.
"What would Andy Warhol do? nWhat would John Waters do? What would Quentin Tarantino do? What would GREEN DAY do?"
'Saviors' will be released 19 January. Pre-order it.
