Billie Joe Armstrong - No Fun Mondays (2488859) CD
The new solo album from the Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong. A 14-song cover collection that sees him putting his spin on classics from the likes of John Lennon, Billy Bragg, Johnny Thunders and more.
The No Fun Mondays series launched in March on Green Day’s YouTube channel. Like many musicians, Armstrong expected to spend much of this year on the road, touring in support of Green Day’s chart-topping February album, Father of All… However, once the COVID-19 pandemic forced him to put those plans on pause, Armstrong got busy with a different kind of work. "While we’ve all been in quarantine I’ve been reflecting on the things that matter the most in my life: family, friends, and, of course, music,” he says. “I figure if we have to spend this time in isolation at least we can be alone together."
