Green Day: American Idiots and the New Punk Explosion posted by Jacob on Mar 28, 2006 - 04:11 PM Email this to a friend   Print this story   Green Day American Idiots and the New Punk Explosion Written by Ben Meyers Disinfo Books * April 2006 Trade Paperback * 224 pages * ISBN: 1-932857-32-X * $19.95 (US) Available now at the Disinformation Store and bookstores everywhere! The Green Day story is very simple: Three school friends grow up together in a cluster of small blue-collar California towns, form a band...and sell over 50 million albums. Except it wasn’t that simple. Self-confessed latchkey kids, theirs was far from an easy ride. Inspired by both the energy of British punk bands like the Sex Pistols and Buzzcocks and cult American bands such as the Dead Kennedys and Husker Du, Green Day formed in 1989. The band gigged relentlessly across the US, quickly selling out every underground club that booked them, and their 1994 major label debut Dookie was a 10-million-selling worldwide hit album. In 2004 Green Day reached a career pinnacle with the concept album American Idiot, a sophisticated commentary on modern life. The No. 1 success of the Grammy-winning album extended Green Day’s fan base even further -- from pre-teen kids to previously skeptical critics. This book is the world’s first full unauthorized biography on Green Day. An authority on punk and hardcore, author Ben Myers charts the band members’ difficult childhoods, the context of the band members’ difficult childhoods, the context of the band within the US and world punk scene and their glittering rise to success.
