~The Miami Herald listed Green Day among the hot new albums and tours to look forward to in 2009. They write: “American Idiot instantly transformed Green Day from near-’90s afterthoughts into one of the biggest and most relevant rock bands in the world.” And the Foxboro Hot Tubs made the Scholars and Rogues list of the best albums of 2008. They describe American Idiot as “a work that’s one of the two greatest punk records in history. A landmark political commentary that expressed the rage that millions of citizens felt but that most other bands were too afraid to take on.”
