Over the past 25 years, Green Day have been called a lot of things like multi-million-selling rockstars, no-hopers, punk rock icons, political firebrands and even heroes. As they gear up to make musical history with the release of three separate albums, Rock Sound heads to California to find out just what they are playing at in our 8-page cover feature.

Elsewhere in this issue we've got interviews with Deaf Havana, While She Sleeps, Turbonegro, Gallows, All Time Low, Circa Survive, Don Broco, Wes Borland and Yellowcard. Billy Talent talk to us about their new album, we go in the studio with Parkway Drive (spoilers: includes animals, surfing and Disneyland!) All-American Rejects get a grilling from their fans, our Exposure section brings you this month's hottest bands, and Panic! At The Disco's 'A Fever You Can't Sweat Out' gets inducted into our Hall of Fame.

You can also find out our verdict on new albums by We Are the Ocean, Gallows, Lower Than Atlantis and Such Gold, plus we rate Incubus, Futures, Canterbury, I Killed The Prom Queen and more live.
