Revolution Radio is the twelfth studio album by the American rock band Green Day, released on October 7, 2016 through Reprise Records.[2] A self-produced effort, it marked their first release since 2009's 21st Century Breakdown not to be produced by longtime producer Rob Cavallo. It is also their first release since that album to be recorded as a trio. Green Day's previous three albums ¡Uno!, ¡Dos!, and ¡Tré! featured touring guitarist Jason White temporarily joining the band in the studio.[3][4]

Three singles were released from the album; "Bang Bang", "Revolution Radio", and "Still Breathing". The album received generally positive reviews from music critics,[5] appeared on multiple year-end lists, and sold 95,000 first-week album-equivalent units in the US to debut at number one on the Billboard 200.[6] Revolution Radio also debuted at number one in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Italy, Canada, and New Zealand.
