Close...But No Green Day

According to Q101 and FMQB, a a music news website, the first single off Green Day's upcoming LP, 21st Century Breakdown will be released to radio on April 20th. The album which is set to be released in May will be Green Day's first in almost 5 years. It will follow in the vein of American Idiot's style, forming a concept album divided into 3 acts. Rolling Stone sampled 6 tracks and the results were good.

But, as you would expect, there is some controversy as well. The title track was leaked online last week, but has at this point been pulled from youtube and other sites. Apparently, q101 planned to play the song, but was threatened with legal action. It appears that we will have to wait a bit longer to hear to hear the perennial punks rocking out again...or until someone else on the internet manages to leak something else ;-)
