Mike Dirnt's side band, The Frustrators, will be coming out with a new EP this year

[in_your_face]

wooot! Green Day members are surely going though a tough time.

Are the Frustrators'' songs worth listening?

[pasalaska]

I am so excited for this! I love the Frussies

I am resigned to the fact that I'm not gonna see them live, though

Are the Frustrators'' songs worth listening?

yes.

they are brilliant.

I love the Frustrators. Smart, funny, and crazy but they do sound different from Green Day. Chandler is the lead singer he's one of the smartest people I've ever meet and funny as hell. Mike's bass is so hot on Frustrators songs, and Art and Terry are excellent on drums and guitar. I have written about them before, with a history and links to stuff. Have fun discovering them! What's Up With the Frustrators?

Maybe shows in California.

AMAZING news!!! I can't wait for the new EP AND especially the Cali tour!

Stephanie, maybe we can meet each other if they have a gig here in LA.

[SOMERTEN]

Wonder if there is any chance of a tour. Come to the UK Mike!

[Tubbie Head]

Well, That band doesn't interest me much, I have never listened to the band much either. It's like Pinhead Gunpowder for me... There's not much for me to love about those bands. I'll of course listen to the EP when it comes out =)

Awesome

Younger Green Day fans who first discovered the band during 2004 (American Idiot) would probably be unaware of The Frustrators unless they decided to collect everything in Green Day's back catalogue.

Since The Network album came out in 2003, one year prior to AI, when I had the chance to see them open up for Green Day at The Wiltern in 2005, only 10 - 20 people knew who they were. I actually remember people booing them too ...

Here are some other MD Rarities for you to check out:

Mike Dirnt played bass/ back vocals on Screeching Weasel's 'How To Make Enemies and Irritate People' & 'Suzanne's Getting Married 7'''

You can also find him playing on Squirtgun's self-titled record, the song is called 'Make It Up'

He is also on Sabrina Stewart's EP.

I can't wait! I'm so excited they've officially confirmed the album. The Frussies write some of the catchiest stuff I've ever heard. If they do a Cali tour, count me in!

Oooh I heard about this yesterday, excited

I think pretty much any Green Day fan who hasn't decided to collect everything in Green Day's back catalogue would be unaware of The Frustrators, regardless of how old they are or when they became a fan.

[reckless]

I got so excited when I saw this yesterday, can't wait for the new EP!

Of course, I won't be able to see them live ugh

Haha I just saw it and thought what bugger gave me that?! Glad to hear it was accidental, no worries.

Edit: Oh and someone's corrected it, thanks

[fadi_7]

[IscoredWaddlesgoals]

Pretty much anything involving more Dirntage is absolutely fine by me. They need to get their stuff on Spotify.
