Writing on his Twitter account yesterday, frontman Billie Joe Armstrong revealed that the pop punkers had official begun studio sessions on their new LP.
He wrote: Happy Valentine's day! Officially started recording the new record today. It's F**k Time!!!!
The band have previously said that their new ninth studio album will move away from the concepts of their last two records 'American Idiot' and '21st Century Breakdown' and be more straightforward.
In November last year, Green Day debuted their new track 'Carpe Diem' during a live show in San Francisco – scroll down to the bottom of the page and click to listen to the song. The band's last release was a live album titled 'Awesome As F**k' in 2011.
Last month (January 23), Green Day's American Idiot musical added an extra week of performances to its UK tour. The show is based around songs from Green Day's last two studio albums 'American Idiot' and '21st Century Breakdown'. A feature film version of the musical, which is being produced by Tom Hanks, is currently in development.
