Green Day have shared details of a new album ‘Saviors’, and dropped a new single titled ‘The American Dream Is Killing Me’. Check it out below.Announced today (October 24), the forthcoming album will mark the 14th studio LP by the pop-punk trio, and their first full-length release since 2020’s ‘Father Of All Motherfuckers’.

It is set for release on January 19, 2024, via Reprise/Warner and is available for pre-order here.To mark the upcoming release, the band – comprising Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tré Cool – have also shared a brand new single from the LP, a fiery, punk-inspired track titled ‘The American Dream Is Killing Me’.Officially shared today, the members first teased the new track last week when they gave the then-unreleased song its live debut in an intimate Las Vegas show.

Held at the 1,000-capacity Fremont Country Club venue, the gig served as a warm-up for their headline sets at When We Were Young festival this past weekend and saw them break out the new song.According to the band, ‘The American Dream Is Killing Me’ was one of the last to be written and recorded for ‘Saviors’.“As soon we cut it, we said, ‘Okay, that’s going first,’” said Armstrong, who described the new song as “a look at the way the traditional American Dream doesn’t work for a lot of people – in fact, it’s hurting a lot of people.”It also comes alongside a film noir-inspired visual accompaniment – directed by Brendan Walter and Ryan Baxley – which sees the band in the midst of a zombie apocalypse.
