The punk trio release the official music video for the title-track of their upcoming album, Father Of All…
Billie Joe, Mike, and Tré have been dropping all sorts of head-turning news and music in our laps over the past 10 days. First, Green Day announced a massive worldwide Hella Mega Tour with Fall Out Boy and Weezer; shortly after, they surprised us with the announcement of their 13th full-length album, Father of All…, along with the streaming of the album's single of the same name.
While we've already gotten a great performance of the song from them on Jimmy Kimmel Live, the band have just announced the release of the official music video for the track via their Twitter:
The raw, raucous video compiles a melange of bizarre (and undeniably fun) images from various eras -- including film scenes, video clips, and random concert footage -- with footage of the band performing the song in snazzy gold and black suits. The song, of course (as we learned last week), blends soul, glam, and Motown influences, rendering their signature pop-punk sound almost unrecognizable. It's a shockingly different look and vibe from the unpolished street-dudes who brought us Basket Case 25 years ago!
Check out the video below:
