Following recognition from the prestigious Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Green Day is confirmed to be working on a new album.
As confirmed by frontman, Billie Joe Armstrong, they have actually finished writing "few songs" for the upcoming album that will soon be recorded.
And together with the new tracks for their new album, Green Day is reportedly working scheduling their tours as well.
After being inactive for quite some time Armstrong admitted that they "just blown away" with their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame recognition.
"There's definitely a great spirit going on," Armstrong told Billboard of their new album. "We've always been pretty charged up. Before we found any of this out, I had already written a few songs and everybody was really excited by them. And then we heard about the Hall of Fame, and we were just blown away."
But while Green Day is confirmed to be working on a new album, Armstrong insisted that fans should not expect a release date anytime soon.
"Yeah, I mean, we're going to take our time," Armstrong explained. "We're not going to try and pull off some, like, victory lap over this because I definitely want the music to come from a real place and be inspired, not just because we got honored or anything like that, but because we're honoring music. We want to work on them, and we want to make a great album."
And in lieu with the Green Day's recognition, Armstrong would like to acknowledge the band's relationship, which helped them achieve so much in their career.
"Well, even people that would be our contemporaries, a lot of these guys would be in their fifties already. But we started young. This is my high school band, and we just kept going. So there's been a lot of life within the time period that we've been around. We're really fortunate in that way."
