Green Day begin work on next record

Green Day has wrapped up touring in support of their multi-platinum 2004 full length American Idiot and have begun work on the follow up. A press release on their website spells out the many accolades the record has garnered, and likewise anticipation will be high for the band to top it. The three-piece recently chronicled the American Idiot era with the live DVD Bullet in a Bible.

It remains to be seen when this new record will see the light of day, as the time between Green Day releases has grown over the years. There was a three year span between 1997's Nimrod and 2000's Warning. While the band cast off many of their early stylistic limitations with that release, it took another four years for the ambitious rock opera of American Idiot to hit stores.
