There's something quite comforting about Green Day having such a big say in this week's news cycle. In the year of our Lord two zero one six, with America seemingly teetering on the edge of oblivion, an inferiority complex-riddled sausage running for the highest office in the land, one month away from a hugely important general election, we have Revolution Radio and a conversation about pop-punk's legacy to go along with it.Try not to get to nostalgic for that righteous anti-Bush fury, the YouTube loops of George Carlin that might've pulled you through a decade back. If you want sharp, poetic anger, listen Kate Tempest's new record; if you want a defiant statement of self, try Lizzo's Coconut Oil. Both of those make it onto this week's 13 most significant releases. You can listen to them all below.Lead photo via Green Day on Instagram.Follow Noisey on Twitter.
