The punk supergroup Armstrongs, made up of Billie Joe Armstrong (Green Day), Tim Armstrong (Operation Ivy/Rancid/Transplants), Joey Armstrong (SWMRS), and Rey Armstrong, have shared a new single called If There Was Ever A Time.
Armstrongs have said that they will donate 100% of proceeds from the single to 924 Gilman, which is a community space which doubles as a DIY, nonprofit, all-ages venue for music, art, and community events in California.
Billie Joe has said, “Anything that has to do with working with Gilman and Tim and Joey Armstrong, consider me in. This is about our home and family. Viva Armstrong!”
The single was released via Hellcat Records and was also featured in the documentary Turn It Around: The Story of East Bay Punk.
“It was exciting to work on this song with Billie and crew for the film,” says Tim. “Stoked to share the tune with everyone out there and to be donating all the proceeds to Gilman, which is a place so near, dear, and important to us.”
The new single has been described as a ‘powerful punk anthem of unity’ and will be available on the 28th of July. A run of flexi-disc singles (limited to just 1,000 copies) will be sold via Pirates Press.
