As befits a hard-working punk rocker, Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong wasn’t idle during lockdown.

Forced off the road by the global pandemic that we’re all now thoroughly tired of hearing about, Armstrong launched his No Fun Mondays covers club back in March, and has since treated the world to his rather excellent solo takes on tracks by The Bangles (Manic Monday), John Lennon (Gimme Some Truth), Billy Bragg (A New England), Kim Wilde (Kids In America), Johnny Thunders (You Can’t Put Your Arms Round A Memory) and more.

Now 14 of those covers have been compiled for release on a No Fun Mondays album, set for release on November 27 and available to pre-order now.

Here we goooo... #NoFunMondays (the album) is coming for you on 11/27!! That's right *all of the songs* on one album. That's not all! There's also a baby blue vinyl w/ glow in the dark cover available in the webstore - so go pre-order yours on store.greenday.com!! Green Day
