The band made the announcement via instagram and deleted it 30 minutes later Mike Dirnt admitted, "I’ve always loved a good fiddle solo. I think it’s time for a little twang in our sound." Tre Cool said, "The rhythm of the banjo is so much more laid-back than the drums. It’s like we’re finally slowing down and embracing a new side of life." The band also teased their upcoming album. The first single, "Short Glance (No More Longview)," promises to be a blend of traditional country with no hints of their punk roots. Billie Joe said, "We’ll always remember our roots, but it’s time for a change. To all our die-hard punk fans out there – now we will no longer wear leather jackets, but a plaid shirt, and we’ll be wearing boots, not Converse. Thanks for the memories." april fools
