Hey guys, today I’m going to write about a band called Green Day. Have you heard about this band? You know, I love them since I was in junior high school. Green Day is an American punk rock band formed in 1987. The band consists of lead vocalist and guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong, bassist and backing vocalist Mike Dirnt, and drummer Tre Cool. Green Day has sold over 65 million records worldwide with 25 million in the US alone. The group has won five Grammy Awards:Best Alternative Album for Dookie, Best Rock Album for American Idiot, Record of the Year for "Boulevard of Broken Dreams", Best Rock Album for the second time for 21st Century Breakdown and Best Musical Show Album for American Idiot: The Original Broadway Cast Recording. In 2010, a stage adaptation of American Idiot debuted on Broadway. The musical has been nominated for several Tony Awards, including Best Musical and Best Scenic Design, and has received generally positive reviews.

The new album, titled 21st Century Breakdown , was released on May 15, 2009. The album had mainly positive reception from critics, getting an average rates between 4 and 5 stars. After the release, the album hit #1 in fourteen countries. 21st Century Breakdown achieved Green Day’s best chart performance to date. And also the new album of Green Day called Awesome as F**k was released on March 22, 2011 through Reprise Records. The album is composed of tracks recorded during Green Day's 2009–2010 21st Century Breakdown World Tour in support of their eighth studio album 21st Century Breakdown.

After listened to all their albums, I just can’t wait to watch their live performance. I hope soon Green Day will come to Indonesia again and I will be in the front row watching them ;)
