About

Over 25 years of LPs spanning punk, alternative, and rock with key pressings like American Idiot and Dookie.

Originating in the vibrant punk scene of Berkeley, Green Day quickly rose from their early indie label days with Lookout! Records to spearhead major label success with Reprise Records. Their breakthrough album Dookie (1994) marked a commercial surge for punk, combining raw punk attitudes with a polished sound. Over their extensive career, they released influential albums like Insomniac, Nimrod, Warning, and the politically charged American Idiot. The band continues to evolve, releasing new albums like Father Of All... (2020) and Saviors (2024), maintaining relevance in rock and punk circles worldwide.

With a mix of studio LPs and live albums, Green Day's vinyl catalog captures their dynamic range from early punk to experimental rock and opera.
