Farewell to Adeline Clothing

Adeline Street clothing posted an announcement on their MySpace stating that they won't be continuing the brand:

Ladies and Gentlemen:
Adeline Street clothing has left the building. What started off as a passion project to create from the heart, punk-inspired clothing has now taken a back seat to the source of its inspiration: rock-n-roll. Adeline Street clothing has decided not to move foward with future designs while Billie Joe and the guys are back in the studio working hard on their follow up to "American Idiot."

Adeline will sell off the remainder of its merchandise through the end of the year on various online stores including AngryYoungandPoor.com, AdelineRecords.com and OnePoster.com. This will not affect Adeline Records since the two companies are separate entities under the Adeline umbrella, so be assured Adeline music will play on. We would like to thank everyone that supported us and helped make this brand happen.

Thank you.

Green Day in Articles

Contact Music interviewed Chris Martin of Coldplay about the current success of his band, which lead him to make a complimentary remark about Green Day:

"The reason we're the biggest band in the world at the moment is because the others are on holiday. That's how you get your breaks. That's how the understudy gets his opportunity. While U2 and Green Day are away, we've gotten to make the most of it."

USA Today interviewed American Idol winner David Cook, who is working with Green Day's old Producer, Rob Cavallo. Rob made a comment regarding Green Day during the interview:

"First single Light On, however, "is by-the-numbers generic power balladry, a song that could be anybody from Green Day to My Chemical Romance," both also produced by Cavallo."

New Interview Coming Soon
