Dead Mermaids released their self-titled debut EP in 2014.

As for Green Day, the rock band has been taking a break since wrapping up their massive Revolution Radio tour. Frontman Billie Joe Armstrong didn’t rest for long as he formed the band The Longshot earlier this year. They released their debut album Love is For Losers back in April. Aside from Armstrong, the band features Jeff Matika, Kevin Preston, and David S. Field.

Recently, Armstrong performed with The Coverups, another band he formed this year, for a surprise show in Oakland, California.
