BURBANK, Calif.--Green Day will premiere the video for their new single,
"21 Guns," exclusively on MySpace Music on June 21st at midnight. The video
was helmed by noted director Marc Webb, who has lensed clips for such
artists as My Chemical Romance, Weezer, and All-American Rejects, and is
making his feature film directorial debut in July with (500) Days of Summer.
"21 Guns" is the second single from the band's latest album 21st Century
Breakdown, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 chart, as well as
on the Rock, Active Rock, and Alternative charts, fueled by the Alternative
radio No. 1 single "Know Your Enemy." 21st Century Breakdown, which Rolling
Stone has called "a rock opera in which the rock always comes first," also
topped the charts in 24 countries including the UK, Canada, and Japan.
Over the past month, Green Day has continued to work with MySpace Music for
the promotion of 21st Century Breakdown. During the week of the album's
release, they played an exclusive concert in New York City which was filmed
for the site's premiere online concert program, The List. The performance
can now be seen on The List's official MySpace profile.
In other Green Day news, the band has been nominated for three 2009 Teen
Choice Awards, which are voted on by teens aged 13 to 19 and honor the
year's biggest achievements in music, movies, television, and fashion.
Green Day has been nominated in the following categories - Choice Music:
Rock Group, Choice Music: Album, for 21st Century Breakdown, and Choice
Music: Rock Track for "Know Your Enemy."
