Green Day released their latest album “Revolution Radio” last fall, and the album cycle has kept the band very busy. They’ll be touring quite a bit this year so they likely won’t have time to work on new music, but that’s ok because apparently they have a whole lot of music stashed away.
Mike Dirnt recently spoke to Music Feeds and he talked a little bit about the band’s catalog of unreleased material.
“Yeah, we kind of have a Machiavellian catalogue of s**t lying around,” laughs bassist Mike Dirnt. “We have SO much stuff, and some of it has morphed into other songs… you know, a song that took 10, 20 years to evolve but started off as a jam or started off as us singing a different lyric to it or whatever. I mean, there’s little opuses in other songs and things like that we’ve done that people have never heard.”
Dirnt says that a lot of the material was recorded “really well” and although he doesn’t know when it will be released, the band plans to release the songs eventually.
“I don’t know when they’ll see the light of day, but me and [frontman] Billie always said ‘at some point everything comes out in the wash’. So, you know, at some point it’ll all come out.”
