NEW Green Day Song "Holy Toledo!" out Friday (5th Nov)

So glad they're still doing this rock n roll style stuff despite peoples thoughts on FOAMF. Have had a smile on my face for the past hour :)

Only thing annoying me is the dynamic range, feels like it should explode in volume after that intro but it's all just a bit squashed. Could just be this youtube version but don't have too much faith as that feels like a Butch Walker thing

Stray Heart and Mother Mary got it on while The Jam's 'In The City' sat in the corner watching.

That's this song. And it kicks the crap outta HCTS and Pollyanna.

 

...and AGAIN with the damn razor blades...

This is an album worthy song. Pollyanna arguably is too but I probably wouldn't consider it a favourite of whatever album it's on unless most of the album sucks

Also the lyric is definitely "We're running with razor blades" rather than "We're around here with razor blades" which it said on that lyric video and genius (I just changed it on genius)

Little one, little one, your soul is purgin'
Of love and razor blades, your blood is surgin'

wow what a nice surprise! this definitely sounds like sth of DOS or FBHT, i really dig it

HCTS was garbage, Pollyana was a nice solid song, but HolyToledo sounds awesome again, its very catchy

and yes i agree the transitions are too "quick", but all in all this is (finally) a good song again, it has more "rocknroll" than "punkrock" but thats ok

(now please hype us with some hints for a new LP greenday) 😋

I like that PART of it was slow.  We really need a power ballad.  Forgotten Part 0, anyone?

Anyone, I shouted out GDA again:

I agree, it’s a big step up musically from HCTS or most the stuff on FOAM. I just wish Billie would write about something else, anything else other than partying your blues away. That being said, the execution is better this go-round. Can’t wait to hear it in higher quality. 

I agree because there HAS TO be something else to write about, hasn’t it, but this is/has been an important aspect of his life for better or worse so it makes sense he’s writing about it.

Can someone see which post the song is autoplaying from on page 3 of this thread? I edited one post (where a reddit link was autoplaying it and unable to be turned off) but it's still autoplaying from somewhere else and I can't see where. If anyone knows link me to the post please.

Can't see anything else either + nothing is autoplaying for me, so might just still be cached on your end

Ah thanks. It was two playing at the same time before I removed the one I could see which seems weird. Hopefully will go when I clear cache - mainly just wanted to stop it for others reading the thread though so no problem if it's just me.

2021 is going out with a musical explosion, I love it!

I think there's a good chance all/most of the songs we're hearing now or in the near future originated from FOAM (whether cut from the album/considered to be on the album or just written at the time), unless they say otherwise.

I really like it!

Very true and this does sound very FOAM although you'd think something as good as this would have made it onto the album. Either way glad they're releasing this stuff and not just pretending it never existed


Edit: Can't stop listening to this song, that harmony on 'we don't wanna know' is just so Green Day and I love it.

It was produced by Butch Walker, he is credited on Spotify, so this is probably just a Father Of All leftover

A shame that it didn’t make it but it would’ve not fittet the albums theme

Yeah I was about to say Billie has an obsession with razor blades LOL.

That makes sense but it is a bit of a departure from FOAM both thematically and sonically. And it seems to be tailored very closely to the theme of the movie. Yes, Billie has written a lot of party songs, but a song specifically about an open marriage/swinging is oddly specific. I have a feeling this was written specifically for the movie and they just are still working with Butch Walker.

Others are escaping me at the moment but I know there are more.
