The Frustrators (Green Day) Announce First Album In Nine Years

The Frustrators, the longstanding, bi-coastal punk rock 4-piece, featuring New England’s Jason Chandler (vocals, artwork), Terry Linehan (guitar, backing vocals) and Art Tedeschi (drums), and California based bassist, Green Day’s Mike Dirnt, are set to release the Griller EP on Adeline Records on February 15. It will be available digitally Feb 22.

The band previously released the  Bored in the USA EP in 2000 and its follow-up full-length, 2002’s poppierAchtung Jackass; making Griller their first record in nine years. Guitarist Terry Linehen described the album saying:

It has all the elements that make the Frustrators the Frustrators. It has a pop sensibility and is a little bit outside of the punk confines. We’ve all matured as musicians and songwriters. Any time any of us record we want it to be the best that we can be.

To celebrate the release, they’ve lined up a string of West Coast dates; their first in 8 years. The dates are below.

Griller EP Track Listing:
