Listen to their single here
Green Day singer Billie Joe Armstrong and Rancid frontman Tim Armstrong have formed a supergroup called the Armstrongs.
Despite sharing the same surname, the kindred spirits are completely unrelated but they have invited a respective family member each to complete the four-strong band.
Completing the group are Billie Joe’s son and SWMRS star Joey Armstrong, and Tim’s nephew Rey Armstrong.
The group have recorded a single together called ‘If There Was Ever a Time’, which appears on the recently released Green Day produced documentary Turn It Around: The Story of East Bay Punk.
Released on Friday 28th July, all profits from sales of ‘If There Was Ever a Time’ go to 924 Gilman, a DIY, nonprofit venue in Berkeley, California.
“Anything that has to do with working with Gilman and Tim and Joey Armstrong, consider me in,” says Billie Joe. “This is about our home and family. Viva Armstrong!”
“It was exciting to work on this song with Billie and crew for the film,” says Tim. “Stoked to share the tune with everyone out there and to be donating all the proceeds to Gilman, which is a place so near, dear, and important to us.”
