Green Day's "Stray Heart" video is a hard-hitting affair. Watch the gritty opus.

2016 is shaping up to be the year of the comeback. The latest veteran act to throw their (musical) hat back into the ring is Green Day. Lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong shared the news on Twitter last night (July 31). “Dear friends! green day is putting out a new single called “BANG BANG” August 11,” the 44-year-old wrote. “Stay tuned for more details.” He also shared a new black-and-white photo of the band, which finds them looking typically disaffected.

It will be interesting to see how Green Day fits into the musical landscape of 2016. Four years have passed since the release of their ¡Uno!, ¡Dos!, ¡Tré! trilogy and the closest thing you’ll get to pop/punk on top 40 radio these days is (sadly) 5 Seconds Of Summer. On the other hand, Billie Joe and the boys have never given a shadow of a fuck about trends and they’re still here 26 years after the release of their debut LP, 39/Smooth. See the band’s comeback announcement below.
