Year of Returns (Green Day, Garbage, Sum 41)

2016 saw the return of many bands that made it big in the 90s and early 00s, with brand new releases by Blink 182, Simple Plan, Red Hot Chili Peppers, among others.

In August, Green Day released “Bang, Bang”,  the first single from Revolution Radio which came out in October. “Still Breathing”, described by Billie Joe Armstrong as “a very heavy song”, was the second single from this production.
