A Green Day-Inspired Comedy is in the Works
If you’ve ever dreamed of going on a road trip to see Green Day, you’re not alone. There’s a new comedy movie in the works called New Year’s Rev, which follows three young rockers trying to make it to L.A. to open for Green Day on New Year’s Eve.
The film is being produced by Live Nation Productions and is said to be inspired by Green Day’s early years on the road. No release date yet, but we’ll keep you posted.
Spiritbox Drops a New Single + Tour Update
