Do we have anyone to confirm or deny this?

Basically. I could send an email, but I'll wait a little bit to see if anything else shows up. Don't want to bother someone because we found some unmarked image on one site.

I can almost guarantee that this is not at all related. 

Well it's what started the Revolution Radio theory a long time ago :P

I'm not saying it's related, I'm just saying I doubt the album name would Revolution Radio because I couldn't see Green Day naming it after a popular site that seems to contradict their beliefs, as far as I know.

Seems sensible. I guess if you do have contacts you don't want to annoy them with every little detail found on the Internet. We should know for sure in a few days anyway regardless.

Well you're assuming they're naming it after that, and I'm saying they're unrelated. They can like the name and have never heard the podcast.

Wow, I really like it. If it's genuine it'll be perfect for the new album. Hurry up, Thursday!

Well even if they like the name.. I'm sure they'd do some research and see that Revolution Radio is the name of a popular, highly political podcast/website that supports one side, so might not be the best idea unless they were trying to make a statement. But you could be right, who knows.

'Being named after' and 'having the same name as' are very different things.

Why would iHeart even put this up (even though we don't know if this is the real cover) if the single isn't supposed to be out until Aug 11th? I mean they're a "professional" music business.

Maybe they're sort of trolling the podcast. Where will it show up on Google when they name their album the same? Second page? Third? They wouldn have to worry about this.

I'm just saying that unknowing, casual fans may make the correlation, and it might not be worth it for them unless they wanted to.. But I don't care either way, I love the title if that's what it is!

To be fair, it does happen from time to time. Even Amazon has done it before. People make mistakes, or just don't realize what they're doing. Even Blink's new single was leaked the night before the release date because their manager forgot to put the lyric video on private after uploading it! haha

I don't think they do any meaningful research. Simply based off the fact they named their first song Bang Bang. The only exception to this we've seen is renaming March of the Dogs to East Jesus Nowhere, but I don't know that it was ever confirmed that it was renamed because another song with the same name existed.

Yup, this type of stuff does happen. Just never really sure when it's legit.

This kind of thing happens. Then again it may not be the single artwork at all, it may be nothing.

Also if they did name the album Revolution Radio, whether if it's purposely or not, I'm pretty sure the Revolution Radio website would take legal action against the name.

I could see March of the Dogs having the marching clip from the beginning of Horseshoes and Handgrenades. I might actually make that edit cause it sounds like it'd work.

Well the song isn't Bang Bang, so...

Hmm, the art doesn't look very Green Day-ish to me. I'm doubting it's legit, but I wouldn't mind if it was the real art.

Good point, it's possible if they own that name and all the rights to it.

Maybe they've already thought of that and that's why they keep saying RevRad instead.

I know we dont know if that is official artwork for a single or the album but i already like that artwork better than any artwork from the trilogy

I quite like that artwork, I think it could work as the cover. Agreed that it could become iconic depending on what the song's like.

If it is real, I really doubt it's a "fuck the trilogy" thing though. I know people want to believe the band hate it but they've never shown anything but positive feelings towards it, and even if they do feel negatively now, they're (publicly) not the types to dwell on things so it's unlikely to be related.

I think it's kind of pointless to assume something isn't real just because it doesn't fit the style of their previous work. I mean, if you saw this without the "GREEN DAY" on it, would you have believed it was the artwork for a Green Day single?

You can't copyright a title 

trademark issues maybe but as one is a title of a website and one might be an album they're in different  media so the trademark may not matter
