Here is an up-to-date, thoroughly researched biography of the
world's most popular pop-punk band. Green Day is almost certainly
the world's most popular pop-punk band. How they got there is the
subject of Green Day: A Musical Biography, the first book to follow
the band from their beginnings through the spring 2009 release of
21st Century Breakdown. Tracing the band's evolution from fiercely
independent punks to a global powerhouse, Green Day starts with the
members' earliest musical influences and upbringing and the
founding of the punk club 924 Gilman Street that shaped their sense
of community. Discussion of their conflicted feelings about signing
to a major label explores the classic rock 'n' roll conundrum of
"selling out," while details of their decline and 2004 rebirth
offer an inspirational story of artistic rejuvenation. Interviews
with the band members and key figures in their lives, excerpted
from punk 'zines and other publications, offer a perspective on
their methods of self-promotion and the image they have chosen to
project over time.
