¡Dos! is the upcoming tenth studio album by the American punk rock band Green Day. The album is set to be released on November 9, 2012 in Australia, November 12, in the United Kingdom and the next day in the United States through Reprise Records. It will be the second of three albums in the ¡Uno! ¡Dos! ¡Tré! trilogy.

Theme and composition

In an interview with Billie Joe Armstrong and Mike Dirnt, it was stated that ¡Dos! was going to have a "more garage rock—a little dirtier, like you're in the middle of the party" feel to it, similar to their side band Foxboro Hot Tubs.[1] In a couple of interviews, Armstrong even went as far as calling ¡Dos! "the second Foxboro album." They even took the song "Its Fuck Time", originally intended as a Foxboro Hot Tubs song, and recorded it for the album.[2]

Unlike the the other two albums in the trilogy, this album will feature thirteen tracks instead of twelve. The thirteenth track "Amy" is dedicated to the late Amy Winehouse. The song "Nightlife" features artist Lady Cobra from the band Mystic Knights of the Cobra. The song is one of the slower and darker songs from the trilogy and has Lady Cobra rapping in her respective parts of the track.

Release and promotion

A trailer for the album was released on June 21, 2012 on the band's YouTube channel, it included a preview of the song "Fuck Time".[3] A preview of the song "Lazy Bones" was featured in a special Green Day themed level pack of Angry Birds Friends. Green Day also released previews of the songs "Stray Heart", "Makeout Party", "Wild One", "Fuck Time", "Lady Cobra" and "Nightlife" during an interview on BBC Radio One.[4] A very short preview of the song "See You Tonight" was featured in one of their tour videos. On October 3, 2012, Green Day officially announced the track list for the album on their website.[5] The songs "Stop When The Red Lights Flash", "Amy" and "Nightlife" were featured on the episode "Unspoken" of CSI: NY alongside "Kill the DJ from ¡Uno! and from "The Forgotten" from ¡Tré!, narrating the first dialogue-free 30 minutes of the episode. An official trailer was released on October 15th and featured previews of "Stop When The Red Lights Flash", "Fuck Time", and "Stray Heart".[6] "Stop When The Red Lights Flash" is featured in EA Games's Need For Speed - Most Wanted '12. The song is now available to listen to on the game's official soundtrack.

Singles

"Stray Heart" premiered on Idiot Club, Green Day's official fan club, on October 8, 2012 and premiered on Zane Lowe's BBC Radio 1 show on the same day.[7] It was later confirmed to be released as the album's lead single on October 15 in the UK, and October 23 in the US. On October 18, it was announced on Idiot Club that fans could go to downtown LA to appear in the music video for Stray Heart on October 19. Details on when the music video is going to be released has not been clarified yet.[8] The song reached number 68 on the Japan Billboard Japan Hot 100 in October.[9]
