Green Day is an American rock trio formed in 1987. The band has consisted of Billie Joe Armstrong (vocals, guitar), Mike Dirnt (bass guitar, vocals), and Tré Cool (drums, percussion) for the majority of its existence. Green Day was originally part of the punk rock scene at 924 Gilman Street in Berkeley, California. Its early releases for independent record label Lookout! Records earned them a grassroots fanbase, some of whom felt alienated when the band signed to a major label. |

Worcester Telegram & Gazette -
Sometimes, it's easy to hate the bands that sort of knocked audiences' ideas of punk rock into tiny categories: The bands such as Green Day and Third Eye Blind that pushed it squarely into the pop arena, sure, but even the amazing bands such as Minor Threat and Black Flag, who defined the hardcore sound so much that anything that wasn't hardcore seemed ... well ... not punk.
