Green Day Singles News (Are you angry yet?)

Sonicnet is reporting that Green Day has been working on new material in Los Angeles, some of which may make it onto a singles collection they plan to release in the falll.
"I look at singles collections and think, that's something people put out when they're 40," said bassist Mike Dirnt (who is 29), "But we've got like 20 singles already."

Dirnt also said that reports of the band's mellowing after the release of Warning was exaggerated. "When Warning came out, I heard it was softer. But now people tell me how much they love that we played acoustic guitars like electrics and that the album's sound was clearer." About the new material being written, he commented "We just want to go pound out some kick-you-in-the-balls-type tunes."
