Billie & Mike joined SWMRS on stage last night at a Ghost Ship fire benefit show in Oakland. Cap of the place was 50. They 5 played 5 Green Day songs & 3 Pinhead Gunpowder songs alongside SWMRS. Setlist + photos here.
They were Emily's Army but they changed their name to SWMRS. Billie Joe Armstrong's son is the drummer.
haven't listened since american idiot; heard Still Breathing on the radio, absolutely loved it, but unfortunately found the new record hard to get through
RR is definitely their best work since AI and I say that as a big 21CBD fan. Would probably put it above one or two of the 90's albums too
Here's my fresh ranking American Idiot Kerplunk Nimrod Tre Insomniac Rev Rad Warning Uno Dookie Dos Shenanigans 21CB 39/Smooth
Revolution Radio has grown on me a ton. It's now one of those albums where I look at the tracklist and can sing you every chorus.
I think it's a pretty solid album, though I wouldn't put it over anything besides the trilogy - which I guess is a testament to how strong their discography is.
Great album, a perfect "reset" from the weirdness of the trilogy and the ambition of 21CB and AI. Just a damn good Green Day album.
Been getting way back into these guys. I kind of fell off With 21CB and the trilogy, but Revolution Radio is killer. I'm also way more into Warning than I used to be.
Me too honestly. I think the only albums I like Dookie more than are the first two, Insomniac, and the trilogy. Dookie has amazing hits and some great deep cuts but more filler than a lot of their other ones
