Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees and Grammy Award-winning rock band Green Day release the music video for their current single “Bang Bang” from their upcoming new album Revolution Radio, which will be released by Reprise Records on October 7th.
Shot in Venice, CA, the video was directed by Rancid’s Tim Armstrong and is be available to watch today exclusively on the band’s Facebook.
“Bang Bang,” climbed to No. 1 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Songs chart in just its third week of release and has earned Green Day rave reviews:
“Like Rage Against the Machine and Public Enemy before them, Green Day can’t sit on the sidelines during these extremely political times.” — TIME
“A big dose of nostalgia for fans of the band’s ‘90s era.” — Brooklyn Vegan
“Promises a musical return to the streamlined snark of the Dookie days.” — Vulture
“The group is back with a barnstormer of a new punk record” — The Los Angeles Times
Produced by Green Day and recorded in Oakland, Revolution Radio is a potent 12-track blitz of angst-ridden anthems that unites Green Day’s fully formed stylistic approach with lyrical themes that address the complexities and uncertainties of modern day existence.
Musically, the album is raw, visceral, and fearless — solidifying the band’s reign as one of the leading voices in rock music. Inspired by recent events, “Bang Bang” marks a welcome return from a band with more to say than ever.
