April 20, 2018

Now that’s a shock! Green Day’s singer, Billie Joe Armstrong, has not only introduced his new band, The Longshot, but the group has also released a surprise debut album, Love Is For Losers. The band unveiled a music video for the title track, followed by a summer tour announcement in support of the debut record. Be sure to watch The Longshot’s music video for ‘Love Is For Losers’ below:

Unfortunately, this awesome release from Green Day’s frontman and his mates happens to drop on the same day as the shocking news about the death of the Swedish DJ Avicii, with whom Billi Joe collaborated on the track ‘No Pleasing A Woman’. The song was never officially released but leaked after one of Avicii’s DJ sets. Give ‘No Pleasing A Woman’ a listen below:
