There’s dancing in Green Day‘s new music video, so be warned if you don’t like dancing. There’s also a middle-finger salute from Billie Joe Armstrong, as he delivers a line about there being nobody to trust.
The video, premiered Thursday night, is for the Bay Area punk/rock legends‘ new single, “Father of All …,” the first song released off Green Day’s new album, Father Of All Motherfuckers, which is slated for release on February 7, 2020.
That garage-rock-tinged song finds Green Day trying something new, and it’ll be intriguing to see what the rest of the album sounds like.
The song received its live TV debut on Kimmel last week:
Accompanying the new music video premiere was this message almost assuredly penned by Armstrong:
Dear friends and fuckers. Here’s our new hot dog video we made for father of all…..? Motherfuckers That’s right! A new vid for the kid. ➡️ http://greenday.link/fatherofallvid We wanted to make something about dancing. Anxiety. Tribalism. Joy.. and straight up violence. It’s the history of us. Meaning all of us. None of this is choreographed.. (except the hotties in red) we don’t need to be choreographed… just lose your shit.. scream like no one is listening.. dance like your hair is on fire. punk soul rockers! Crawl on the dance floor.. spit in the air.. get weird. FATHER OF ALL… ➡️ http://greenday.link/fatherofallvid Love Green Day
