National Rock Review has shared a look at the early days of Green Day, along with a concert they played in a basement in Detroit. It's always very interesting to take a look back at the early days of Green Day.

The article talks a little bit about the band's history and how they got their start, as well as how their sound evolved in the early days. The author, Erik Heemsoth, goes on to talk about organizing a show in Detroit for bands like Corrupted Morals, Neurosis, The Offspring and more - and they couldn't find a venue for Green Day. They ended up playing a basement party in 1991.

Go check out the article for more details and a bunch of awesome photos from that show and another later that year that have never been released.

Thanks to Erik Heemsoth for sharing this story and the photos!
