Green Day‘s Billie Joe Armstrong and Rancid‘s Tim Armstrong have teamed to form a new supergroup called The Armstrongs. Billie Joe’s son Joey Armstrong (who plays drums in SWMRS) and Tim’s nephew Rey Armstrong round out the four piece group, which also released their first song, “If There Was Ever a Time.”
The Armstrongs recorded the three-minute punk song for the Green Day-produced documentary Turn It Around: The Story of East Bay Punk, which focuses on the music scene in the East Bay from the late 1970s to the mid 1990s, specifically on Berkeley, California’s legendary all-ages, non-profit punk venue 924 Gilman, where acts like Green Day and Tim Armstrong’s Operation Ivy and Rancid got their start.
“If There Was Ever a Time” will receive a limited 1,000-copy run on flexi-disc through Pirate Press, with all proceeds from the sale of the single benefitting 924 Gilman. The song is also available on streaming services and digital music stores now.
Screenings for Turn It Around: The Story of East Bay Punk, narrated by Iggy Pop, begin July 25th. Baby Huey and Chasta will host a special screening of “Turn It Around: The Story of East Bay Punk” in 107.7 The Bone’s Levi’s Lounge on Tuesday, July 25th.
