Midnight last night saw the worldwide release of God's Favorite Band, Green Day's hubristically named greatest hits album. As well as sporting twenty of the band's best-loved classics, the release features two new songs - 'Back in the USA', and a rearrangement of 'Ordinary World' featuring country singer Miranda Lambert.

The melodic, political and unmistakeably Green Day 'Back in the USA' is the band's indictment of present-day America, and boasts one of the most politically charged Green Day videos to date. You can watch the video, directed by Brendan Walter and Greg Yagolnitzer, here.

God's Favorite Band is now available worldwide to buy and stream - more information and links are available here.
