Out of nowhere, it seems, Billie Joe Armstrong has graced us with a brand-new album: The Longshot's Love Is For Losers. While we didn't exactly expect a quiet year from one of our generation's finest songwriters, we also weren't anticipating 11 nuggets of punk-rock gold so early into 2018. Such is BJA's knack for consistently colourful three-minute bangers, though, that's what we've been given.
With all eyes on Billie Joe right now, we decided to take a look at his other musical ventures away from Green Day – both active and otherwise – while we patiently await some Longshot UK tour dates (please?).
The Coverups
After a wild couple of years touring Revolution Radio, it’s no surprise that Green Day have seemingly taken this year off. Well… sort of. Billie has still been getting his live fix in the form of local cover band shows (hence the name…) with GD bandmates and alumni. And from Iron Maiden to David Bowie, there’s nothing he’s not willing to tackle. How about something from Dookie, though?
