REVIEW: Green Day 'Revolution Radio' title track.

In a fast follow up to their furious first single 'Bang Bang', bay area punk rock legends Green Day are keeping their own heels hot with the release of their upcoming albums title track, Revolution Radio. The album was completed between the band's hometown studio in Alameda, and Ocean Way in Los Angeles, with Green Day themselves at the helm of the production.

The new single hearkens back through many elements to Green Day's much earlier sounds, a simple and melodious fury but without a doubt containing a full measure of the double barrel protest spirit found in the later 'Horseshoes and Hand-grenades' and '99 revolutions'.

Armstrong's lyrics are clever as ever, his subtle genius at risk of being lost on the less observant but still enjoyable through the signature whine of his guitar, whilst drummer Tre Cool's rampant and demanding clash of percussion shows no signs of wavering, and Mike Dirnt is soldiering on in his station of staunchly strong rhythm and leading baseline.

The single's release was accompanied by another scruffy yet sagacious lyric video, which demonstrates in the same manner as its predecessor, an artistic state of affairs through the animation of scrap book material and intelligent newspaper puppetry.

If these first two tracks serve as a peri-album judgement point for what is about to come, then those who have their eyes and ears open will without a doubt be receiving an album that sounds like a lot of fun, but houses within those layers, a compelling and intrepid cross hair squared with punk paradigm, at the culture of modern anti-truth.
