Green Day - Short Biography

Green Day is a highly influential rock band that formed in California in 1987 as a power trio consisting of Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and John Kiffmeyer, before Tré Cool replaced Kiffmeyer in 1990. The band was originally called Sweet Children and was part of the Bay Area punk scene, releasing its first songs on Lookout! Records. However, it was their debut album, Dookie, that marked their mainstream success, selling over 10 million copies in the United States. Green Day is often credited with helping to popularize interest in punk rock, along with other California punk bands.

The song "The Grouch" is taken from "Nimrod", the fifth studio album by American rock band Green Day. Released on October 14, 1997 by Reprise Records, the album was recorded at Conway Recording Studios in Los Angeles after a European tour was cancelled following the release of their previous album, Insomniac. The band intended to create a collection of independent songs rather than a cohesive album, so Nimrod was noted for its musical diversity and experimentation. The album includes elements of folk, hardcore, surf rock and ska, while lyrical themes include coming of age, self-reflection and fatherhood.
