Green Day will release their new single ‘Dilemma’ later this week.
Following recent hits ‘The American Dream Is Killing Me’ and ‘Look Ma, No Brains!’, the ‘Basket Case’ icons – who are set to release their 14th album ‘Saviors’ next month – are giving fans another tease of the forthcoming LP.
Taking to Instagram, the pop punk legends have confirmed that the new song will be available for purchase on Thursday (23.12.07).
They wrote: “Throwing a rager of a holiday party. Dilemma is out everywhere on Thursday, come by and check it out.”
The record will be the first new material from the trio, which consists of Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tre Cool, since 2020’s Father of All…, following 2016’s Revolution Radio and 2012’s triple-album project.
Frontman Billie Joe recently told Kerrang! magazine about the band’s approach: “When I think about [2004’s] ‘American Idiot,’ I think about where ‘Nimrod’ and ‘Warning’ were these records where we were in the studio learning and trying to expand our musical knowledge.
“That’s kind of how I feel right now, because ‘Father Of All…’ was one of those moments where we said, ‘Let’s try something new.
“We learned so much from it, and it’s like it has a baby called ‘Saviors! ”
Bassist Mike was adamant that the new record is a tribute to the band’s roots with “energy and melody” while pushing their sound in a “fresh” direction.
He added: “I can hear parts of every 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 spades.
