Green Day: The Band
Green Day, also known as The Sweet Children, is an American punk rock band from the East Bay Area in California. They sold the most number of albums since its formation in 1987. It is the only band to hold a record for the most consecutive gold or platinum albums.
They garnered national attention when they played at a popular club called 924 Gilman Street in Berkeley which is famous for hosting many punk rock bands. The group started out playing at small clubs and bars around Berkeley, California.
They changed their name to Green Day in 1989. Their first album ’39/Smooth‘ was not released due to the poor performance of the band’s previous recordings. In 1991 they signed a record deal with a local independent label called Lookout Records. They recorded their first EP Slappy and the next year 1039/Somewhere Now in 1992.

Who Are Its Members?
The group comprises lead vocalist and guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong and drummer Tré Cool; original bassist Mike Dirnt left the group in 1995, with his replacement Jason White departing two years later. Green Day is known for pop-punk hits such as ‘American Idiot‘, ‘Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)‘, ‘Knowledge‘, ‘Jesus Of Suburbia’, and ‘Wake Me Up When September Ends‘.
Is Green Day Still Together?
Rumors were floating that the band had broken up after 27 years together, and many people were shocked. Luckily though, there was no need to worry — Joe just needed a break after touring for over three years straight. The rumor has since been debunked and there doesn’t seem to be any indication that the band will be breaking up any time soon.
Even though they have had some hiccups throughout their career, the band has still produced albums that are timeless and keep them relevant to this day. With their newest album, Father of all M************, being released in 2020 it never ceases to be a relevant album for Generation Z nor any other generation.
