Green Day is an American punk rock band formed in 1986. The band consists of lead vocalist and guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong, bassist and backing vocalist Mike Dirnt, and drummer Tré Cool. Known for their energetic performances and catchy songs, Green Day has become one of the most successful punk bands of all time.
With their breakthrough album "Dookie" in 1994, Green Day gained mainstream popularity and helped revive interest in punk rock. Their music often tackles social issues with a mix of humor and angst, resonating with fans around the world.
Over the years, Green Day has released numerous hit albums including "American Idiot," which won a Grammy Award for Best Rock Album. They continue to evolve their sound while staying true to their punk roots, making them a beloved band among both old and new fans alike.

Reprise Records, also known as "Reprise", is an American label that was formed in December 1960 by Frank Sinatra. It was created to provide more artistic freedom for Sinatra's own recordings and soon became the home for other members of the "Rat Pack" such as Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. In August 1963, Reprise was sold to Warner Bros. Records, becoming its parent company. While still maintaining artistic control for its artists, Reprise has also served as a distributor for other Warner Music Group labels like Sire Records Company and Tommy Boy Music.

Throughout its history, Reprise has had distinct label features including the iconic tri-color 'steamboat' label with a green quadrant above yellow and the use of different color combinations over time. The label has gone through various changes but has always remained committed to supporting its artists while expanding its responsibilities within the Warner Music Group.

It's important to note that some early 1990s promotional CDs from Reprise Records may have a generic copyright year of "©1990" even though they were released later. Additionally, US cassettes and 8-tracks may have a REP code on the spine or elsewhere near the catalogue number which should not be mistaken as part of the catalogue number itself.

dookie gave green day success, but it was never really clear whether they wanted it in the first place. however, given the incessantly catchy songwriting of billie joe, the success made sense. green day were traditionalists without realizing it, learning all of their tricks through secondhand records and second-generation california punk bands. they didn't change their sound in the slightest after signing to a major label, which meant that they couldn't revert back to a harsher, earlier sound as a way to shed their audience for dookie's follow-up, insomniac. instead, they kept their blueprint and made it a shade darker. throughout insomniac, there are vague references to the band's startling multi-platinum breakthrough, but the album is hardly a stark confessional on the level of nirvana's in utero. it's a collection of speedy, catchy songs in the spirit of the buzzcocks, the jam, the clash, and the undertones, but played with more minor chords and less melody and recorded with a bigger, hard rock-oriented production. while nothing on the album is as immediate as "basket case" or "longview," the band has gained a powerful sonic punch, which goes straight for the gut but sacrifices the raw edge they so desperately want to keep and makes the record slightly tame. billie joe hasn't lost much of his talent for simple, tuneful hooks, but after a series of songs that all sound pretty much the same, it becomes clear that he needs to push himself a little bit more if green day ever want to be something more than a good punk-pop band. as it is, they remain a good punk-pop band, and insomniac is a good punk-pop record.
