Green Day Releases New Music as Surprise Announcement

Green Day had a surprise in store for fans before their headline performance at Coachella. On April 9, the band dropped a new track called “Smash It Like Belushi.” The song is set to be included in the upcoming deluxe edition of Saviors, which will also feature four other new songs, including “F**k Off,” “Ballyhoo,” “Underdog,” and “Stay Young.” Additionally, the deluxe album will contain acoustic versions of “Suzie Chapstick” and “Father to a Son.”

The band took to social media to announce the new music and hinted that more surprises are on the way. In an Instagram post, Green Day stated, “We’ve got a few more tricks up our sleeves the next few weeks (as always 😏) stay tuned.” The deluxe edition of Saviors is scheduled to be released on May 23, giving fans more to look forward to.

In a recent revelation, frontman Billie Joe Armstrong shared insights into an incident involving Perry Farrell and the iconic Lollapalooza 1994 tour. Farrell, who believed Green Day was a “boy band,” initially opposed the band’s participation in the tour. Armstrong reflected on the situation, expressing disappointment in Farrell’s assumptions. The singer expressed, “For us, it was really disappointing because Perry was someone that we really respected.” Despite the setback, Green Day decided to showcase their talents and prove Farrell wrong.

In light of Farrell’s behavior and accusations, Green Day decided to make a statement by dedicating their song “Chump” to him. Armstrong recounted the aftermath, noting that representatives for Farrell approached the band expressing his displeasure over the dedication. In response, Armstrong asserted, “Tell him to stop acting like one.” The incident shed light on the band’s resolve to push back against unjust criticisms and beliefs.

The unexpected release of “Smash It Like Belushi” has stirred excitement among fans, setting the stage for a dynamic new chapter in Green Day’s musical journey. With the promise of more surprises to come, the band continues to captivate audiences and defy expectations. As the release of the deluxe edition of Saviors approaches, fans eagerly await the opportunity to experience new tracks and acoustic renditions from the legendary band. Green Day’s resilience in the face of adversity reflects their enduring commitment to their craft and their unwavering dedication to their fans.
