More than 25 years ago (the anniversary was actually last fall), Green Day unleashed Insomniac onto the world. Recorded in San Francisco’s Hyde Street recording studio, the album featured higher volatility, leaning heavily into punk music, and darker lyrics than what the rock band had previously forged. Now, their belated album celebration comes in the form of a limited edition orange vinyl, containing brand new live tracks.
The album is “finally old enough to rent a car (or whatever else you can do when you’re 25, we’re not lawyers) so we remastered it to celebrate, and we’re throwing in some bonus goodies to boot,” the band said of the release.

The eight live tracks were all originally recorded at a March 26th, 1996 show in Prague, a stop on their Insomniac World Tour. Those include “Geek Stink Breath,” “Walking Contradiction,” and “Brain Stew.”
