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.
