The New Musical Express recently posted an online article discussing Green Day:

"Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong has hinted that their forthcoming new Butch Vig-produced album could take a "power pop" direction.

The frontman did not reveal song titles or details of the songs they are currently working on in the studio, but name-checked The Creation, The Who, The Beatles, Cheap Trick and The Jam as possible influences"
