Green Day

Since their introduction into the flamboyant circle of Punk/Rock in 1989. This Berkeley Trio have glorified and rejuvenated a genre from the blistered hands of grunge lite bands who where more concerned over their appearance than Musical values. Green Day became formidable, overpowering competitors, snuffing out weakness. Reinventing Punk/Rock as a brand steeped in class and worthiness. Becoming ammo for Rock's gun of justice, shooting down mediocrity. After the modest sales of debut catalogue '1059 Smoothed Out Slappy Hours' and second release Kerplunk, Green Day ventured into new territory. A smash hit was on punk's radar. Major status came calling in the form of Frank Sinatra's foundation Reprise, and the snotty nosed teens couldn't refuse the uplift. Dookie reeked of sweat,sex, abruptly break ups and shit heaps of angst when its tenderness arrived in 1994. Green Day were evolving into a major fixure in Rock's progression and Dookie would push the act into a market completely alterating their future.
