Regarded as one of the most influential bands of the mid-1990s California punk rock scene, Green Day became a household name with the release of 1994's seminal breakout album Dookie. Green Day continued to shape and inspire the action sports community with the release of 2004's American Idiot. The band's songs were featured in skateboard video soundtracks and the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater video game franchise. Earlier this year, they released their 14th studio album, Saviors.
Directed by Russell Houghten of production company Brindle Collective, "Monsters & Saviors" features distinct sections set to three of Green Day's most iconic songs: The breakout hit "Longview" accompanies a street skating section filmed on location in Los Angeles and San Diego.
The title track, "American Idiot," energizes a backyard pool section filmed in Victorville, California, with a cameo by 1970's pro skateboarder Steve Olson. Finally, "Bobby Sox" provides the soundtrack for a no-holds-barred aerial session on the "Sloanyard" mega ramp complex in Vista, California, for a not-to-be-missed video experience.
Monster Energy skateboarders featured in "Monsters & Saviors" include Jake Yanko, Nyjah Huston, Giovanni Vianna, Gabriel Fortunato, Filipe Mota, Jhancarlos Gonzalez, Fabiana Delfino, Liam Pace, Kieran Woolley, Matt Berger, Tom Schaar, Ruby Lilley, Yam Behar, Rune Glifberg, Trey Wood, Elliot Sloan, Moto Shibata, Cocona Hiraki, and Edouard Damestoy in an all-star cast of skateboard innovators, and multiple Olympic and X Games medalists.

ABOUT GREEN DAY
Formed in 1986 in Berkeley, CA, Green Day is one of the world's best-selling bands of all time, with more than 75 million records sold worldwide and 10 billion cumulative audio/visual streams. The five-time Grammy Award-winning Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees released their breakout album Dookie in 1994, which sold over 10 million and achieved 10x Platinum Diamond status, is widely credited with popularizing and reviving mainstream interest in punk rock, catapulting a career-long run of #1 hit singles. Entertainment Weekly calls Green Day, "The most influential band of their generation," while Rolling Stone attests, "Green Day have inspired more young bands to start than any act this side of Kiss, and that doesn't seem to be changing." In 2004, Green Day released the rock opera American Idiot which captured the nation's attention, selling more than 9 million copies in the U.S. alone and taking home the Grammy Award for Best Rock Album. Mojo declared, "It's exhilarating stuff, the kind of record that sets new parameters as to what is possible from a punk rock'n'roll band in the 21st century." In 2010, a stage adaptation of American Idiot debuted on Broadway to critical and commercial acclaim. Released in 2020, Green Day's thirteenth studio album, Father Of All... debuted at #1 on Billboard's Album Sales Chart and #1 in both the U.K. and Australia. Pitchfork declared, "Green Day's most fetching and youthful songs in ages. The trio sounds reinvigorated, more like hungry newcomers staking their claim." In July 2021, Green Day embarked on The Hella Mega Tour (w/ Fall Out Boy & Weezer). The global tour included 29 sold-out stadium gigs – including renowned venues like London Stadium and Los Angeles' Dodger Stadium. On January 19, '24, the band released their highly anticipated 14th studio album, Saviors, which includes hit singles, "The American Dream Is Killing Me," which reached #1 on Billboard Rock & Alternative Airplay, and "Dilemma." The album debuted at #1 on seven different Billboard charts and marked their fifth #1 in the UK. Saviors received widespread critical praise, with Rolling Stone describing it as "huge songs and snotty satire for a world on fire," while The New York Times hailed it as "a decisive, even overdetermined return to form." The New Yorker summed it up best with "It's Green Day's world now." Green Day is currently on their massive global stadium tour – The Saviors Tour – where they play Dookie and American Idiot in their entirety, along with other Saviors cuts and fan favorites. The tour will conclude on September 28 at Petco Park in San Diego.
