"Bang Bang" - Green Day, Single Review

Green Day dropped their hot new track on August 11 and it is incredible. The highly anticipated song was released on Thursday and the reception of it has been amazing. It is taken from their upcoming 12th studio album, "Revolution Radio" which is expected on October 7, 2016.

In its entirety, "Bang Bang" touches on some very heavy topics of deranged chaos and terrorism. It raises awareness of these increasingly important topics in a way that only Green Day know how to do: through a catchy melody, providing something for people to feel connected to. Both lyrically and musically, "Bang Bang" is a stroke of genius as it combines punk music with political direction. If the album is anything like this track, it is going to be beyond brilliant.

Rating: 8.5/10
