Green Day has announced that "Oh Love" will be the lead single from their upcoming album trilogy ¡UNO! ¡DOS! ¡TRÉ!. The track is set for digital release on July 16th and will be the first taste of Green Day's enormous project.

"We're changing the guitar sound. We're not going with the big Marshall amp thing," frontman Billie Joe Armstrong recently told Rolling Stone about the trilogy. "We wanted something punchier, more power pop – somewhere between AC/DC and the early Beatles... If you listen to it, it feels grand. But it also feels like a garage band."

¡UNO! will be released September 25th, with ¡DOS! following on November 23rd and ¡TRÉ! on January 15th, 2013.

“Is It True”

Brenda Lee | 1964

As the British Invasion reached its peak in 1964, Brenda Lee went from Nashville to London to record one of her hardest-rocking hits, her perky vocal backed by a stuttering, squalling guitar. That guitar was played by session musician Jimmy Page, yet to skyrocket to fame with first the Yardbirds and then Led Zeppelin. "She said to me, 'I've come here to make a record with the British sound,'" remembered producer Mickie Most. "She felt she wouldn't get the same sound in Nashville because they're only just catching up on the British beat group sound of about six months ago."
