Revolution Radio
Revolution Radio is Green Day's twelfth studio album, released on 7 October 2016 through Reprise Records. It follows the three-album ¡Uno!, ¡Dos! and ¡Tré! run of 2012 and sits between pop punk, alternative rock, punk rock and post-hardcore. The band produced it themselves, the first time since 21st Century Breakdown that Rob Cavallo was not in the chair, and it was also their first record since that album made as a trio.
Three singles came from it: "Bang Bang", "Revolution Radio" and "Still Breathing". Critics were generally positive, and the record turned up on several year-end lists. It sold 95,000 first-week album-equivalent units in the US to enter the Billboard 200 at number one, and it also went straight to the top in the UK, Ireland, Italy, Canada and New Zealand. A good one to hear for the band running their own show.
