Billie Joe Armstrong has hinted that Green Day’s new album could take a “power pop” direction… The frontman did not reveal song titles or details of the tracks they are currently working on in the studio, but name-checked The Creation, The Who, The Beatles, Cheap Trick and The Jam as possible influences.
As already known, the (former) punk trio is currently recording its new CD with producer Butch Vig, best-known not only as a member of Garbage, but mostly as the guy who produced Nirvana’s “Nevermind”.
