Pinhead Gunpowder, the notable side project of Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong, has made a significant comeback with the release of a new album titled "Untitled" after a 16-year hiatus. Emerging back into the music scene, the band has also unveiled a new single ahead of the album's launch, stirring excitement among its dedicated fan base and the punk rock community. The album signifies not only a nostalgic return for the band's followers but also a chance to hear fresh material from the group, who have not released any new music since 2008.

Hailing from California, Pinhead Gunpowder formed in the early '90s and has been known for its blend of punk rock with personal and political themes. Members include Armstrong, alongside guitarist Jason White, bassist Bill Schneider, and drummer Tré Cool, all of whom contribute to the band's distinct sound.

With the announcement made earlier this month, the new album reflects the band's growth while staying true to its punk rock roots. Fans can expect a vibrant collection of tracks that channel the energy and ethos characteristic of Pinhead Gunpowder. Additionally, it will be interesting to see how this revival intertwines with the ongoing projects of Green Day, given Armstrong’s active involvement in both endeavors.

For those eager to dive into the new music, more information and links to stream or purchase the album are available through Dork.
