The b-side for "Know Your Enemy" was released a couple days ago on CD in Germany. The song sounds incredible, very old school Green Day vibe to it. The song will be available for download online soon, and will hopefully be on the single CD when it gets released in the US. Till then, feel free to listen to the song here:

It also sounds phenomenal. New producer Butch Vig has both focused Green Day's stadium-sized punk rock and embellished it with flamboyance and muscle cribbed from either side of the 60s pop and rock divide. Last of the American Girls rejoices in Beach Boys harmonies, while Restless Heart Syndrome, a withering assessment of the prevalence of prescription medication, waxes and wanes like vintage Led Zeppelin.
