Green Day have shared a new track taken from the soundtrack of their upcoming coming-of-age movie NIMRODS, and it is rock and roll in its purest form.

the film is set to follow Tommy, who receives a phone call inviting his band to open for Green Day on New Years Eve without him realising it’s a prank by his older brother, Wayne. Regardless, Tommy takes on a roadtrip from Kansas City to Los Angeles to live out his dreams, the sort of dream that countless bands have had before his.
