Image Green Day have begun work on their follow-up to 2009's 21st Century Breakdown, according to a tweet from frontman Billie Joe Armstrong. He writes: "Happy Valantine's day! Officially started recording the new record today. It's FUCK TIME!!!!"

The band has been writing new material since at least June, and several new songs have surfaced in Green Day's sets over the past year, including "Carpe Diem" and "Stray Heart." Whether or not either song makes the final album remains to be seen, of course.

The Dopamines return to It's Alive for "Vices"

Posted by adam on Wednesday, February 15, 2012 at 11:00 AM (EST)
Image Cincinnati, Ohio's The Dopamines will return to It's Alive Records to release their upcoming third album Vices. The label wrote:
Five years ago on Valentine's Day Jon Lewis wrote the lyrics for what would become the first song on the first album of the first record by The Dopamines. At the time The Dopamines s/t LP was only our second album we were the sole label responsible for releasing on all formats. It was the first time we were doing so with a band's debut release. It was a big deal for us...

Watching them climb out of the basements and onto the stage and then head out across the country and later across Europe was incredibly exciting! It was also something we took a lot of pride in having been a part of.

Things got shitty in the real world which caused big problems for the label. Time was needed to regroup and rethink how this label could survive. The Dopamines second album Expect The Worst was released by another label and we had to watch with both bitter sweet happiness and huge regret as it rocketed them up to a whole new level of awesome.

I swore if an opportunity to do another album with them ever arose, we weren't going to pass on it for anything. That opportunity just knocked down our door a short while ago...
Vices will see a spring release this year. The band's prior album Expect the Worst was released in 2010 by Paper + Plastick. For April Fools last year we published around a dozen ridiculous reviews of it. I'm partial to this one (but I'm biased), but there are a few gems in the batch.
