Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong will release the various covers he recorded during the Covid 19 lockdown as a new album, "No Fun Mondays", out November 27th, 2020, via Reprise Warner Records.

Armstrong launched his "No Fun Mondays" quarantine series back in March at the start of the lockdown with a rendition of Tommy James & The Shondells’ “I Think We’re Alone Now”. He went on to cover a broad mix of songs, from punk classics like the Clash’s “Police On My Back”, to classic rock deep cuts like John Lennon’s “Gimme Some Truth”, and pop standards like the Bangles’ “Manic Monday”. There won’t be any covers on "No Fun Mondays" that Armstrong hasn’t already released over the past few months.

“While we’ve all been in quarantine I’ve been reflecting on the things that matter the most in my life, family, friends, and, of course, music”, Armstrong said in a statement. “I figure if we have to spend this time in isolation at least we can be alone together”.

"No Fun Mondays" is available to preorder on CD and vinyl. A limited edition baby blue colored vinyl pressing will be available at independent record stores around the United States.
