Green Day get framed for robbing a bank in “Bang Bang” video

PanARMENIAN.Net - Green Day have shared the video for their recent single 'Bang Bang', NME reports.

The song in question features on the band's forthcoming album 'Revolution Radio', out October 7. Its accompanying video - directed by Rancid frontman Tim Armstrong - sees the band framed for bank robbery by a group of three youngsters, who then proceed to shower the crowd with the stolen cash at a Green Day gig.

The punk band's frontman Billie Joe Armstrong recently said he was surprised at how aggressive the album’s first single, ‘Bang Bang’, sounded. He said: “’Bang Bang’ is the most aggressive single we’ve ever had. I didn’t plan on it being that way. I don’t want to be the old guy saying ‘We’re going to show these young whippersnappers how it’s done.’ It was just ‘Fuck, this sounds really good.’”

The band recently released the album's title track.

Singer Billie Joe Armstrong had previously said ‘Revolution Radio’ was inspired by their anger at the state of America, and that the rise of Donald Trump since it was completed scared them.

Armstrong had also said that the Black Lives Matter movement had inspired the trio for their first album since the ‘Uno!’, ‘Dos!’, ‘Tre!’ trilogy in 2012, since when Armstrong has been rehab, which also inspired songs on ‘Revolution Radio’.
