There would seem to be an extraordinary amount of pressure on you to come up with a group of musicians that could compete with the Beatles. Paul: It was a bit touch and go at the beginning because it was a bit difficult for me to just suddenly develop a new band.

When it comes to punk ballads there are not all that many out there. Punk is a hard and driven form of music that prohibits it from being well-suited to conveying softer emotions – that is, it has been, until now. Green Day’s Boulevard of Broken Dreams is another undeniable hit from a trio that has consistently shown that despite their punk roots, they are versatile musicians who can produce more down-beat music while still keeping their sharp edge.
