American Idiot hit store shelves on September 21st and was produced by Green Day and longtime Green Day producer Rob Cavallo. Frontman Billie Joe Armstrong calls this CD "ambitious," and a politically-charged new recording of a "punk opera." Green Day are one of the most successful Modern Rock artists of all time, and are widely regarded as the "Godfathers Of Neo-Punk." They have sold in excess of 2.5 Million units in Canada alone, including their Diamond-certified 1994 milestone recording, Dookie.
