High-Energy Video Edit Directed by Cinematographer
Russell Houghten Celebrating 'The Saviors Tour'.
Monster Energy is proud to announce the worldwide premiere of
the new skate film "Monsters & Saviors," created with the
iconic California rock band, Green
Day. In celebration of Green Day's current 'The Saviors Tour,' the
eleven-minute video directed by cinematographer Russell Houghten showcases songs from the band's
legendary albums Dookie and American Idiot over exclusive action
footage featuring Monster Energy skateboarders, including
Nyjah Huston.
Honoring Green Day's legacy in the skateboard scene, the new
"Monsters & Saviors" video blends the band's signature punk
sound with visuals of some of the world's best professional
skateboarders in a nostalgic video.
As of today, viewers can go online and watch "Monsters &
Saviors" in its entirety on the official Monster Energy YouTube
Channel here. Also, make sure to catch Green Day on their massive
global stadium run this summer, where they'll be playing both
Dookie and American Idiot in their entirety. All dates of 'The
Saviors Tour' can be found HERE.
Regarded as one of the most influential bands of the mid-1990s
California punk rock scene, Green
Day became a household name with the release of 1994's seminal
breakout album Dookie. Green Day continued to shape and inspire the
action sports community with the release of 2004's American Idiot.
The band's songs were featured in skateboard video soundtracks and
the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater video game franchise. Earlier this year,
they released their 14th studio album, Saviors.
Directed by Russell Houghten of
production company Brindle Collective, "Monsters & Saviors"
features distinct sections set to three of Green Day's most iconic
songs: The breakout hit "Longview" accompanies a street skating
section filmed on location in Los
Angeles and San Diego.
The title track, "American Idiot," energizes a backyard pool
section filmed in Victorville,
California, with a cameo by 1970's pro skateboarder
Steve Olson. Finally, "Bobby Sox" provides the soundtrack for a
no-holds-barred aerial session on the "Sloanyard" mega ramp complex
in Vista, California, for a
not-to-be-missed video experience.
Monster Energy skateboarders featured in "Monsters &
Saviors" include Jake Yanko,
Nyjah Huston, Giovanni Vianna, Gabriel

ABOUT GREEN DAY
Formed in 1986 in Berkeley, CA,
Green Day is one of the world's best-selling bands of all time,
with more than 75 million records sold worldwide and 10 billion
cumulative audio/visual streams. The five-time Grammy Award-winning
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees released their breakout album
Dookie in 1994, which sold over 10 million and achieved 10x
Platinum Diamond status, is widely credited with popularizing and
reviving mainstream interest in punk rock, catapulting a
career-long run of #1 hit singles. Entertainment Weekly calls Green
Day, "The most influential band of their generation," while Rolling
Stone attests, "Green Day have inspired more young bands to start
than any act this side of Kiss, and that doesn't seem to be
changing." In 2004, Green Day released the rock opera American
Idiot which captured the nation's attention, selling more than 9
million copies in the U.S. alone and taking home the Grammy Award
for Best Rock Album. Mojo declared, "It's exhilarating stuff, the
kind of record that sets new parameters as to what is possible from
a punk rock'n'roll band in the 21st century." In 2010, a stage
adaptation of American Idiot debuted on Broadway to critical and
commercial acclaim. Released in 2020, Green Day's thirteenth studio
album, Father Of All... debuted at #1 on Billboard's Album Sales
Chart and #1 in both the U.K. and Australia. Pitchfork declared, "Green Day's
most fetching and youthful songs in ages. The trio sounds
reinvigorated, more like hungry newcomers staking their claim." In
July 2021, Green Day embarked on The
Hella Mega Tour (w/ Fall Out Boy & Weezer). The global tour
included 29 sold-out stadium gigs – including renowned venues like
London Stadium and Los Angeles'
Dodger Stadium. On January 19, '24,
the band released their highly anticipated 14th studio album,
Saviors, which includes hit singles, "The American Dream Is Killing
Me," which reached #1 on Billboard Rock & Alternative Airplay,
and "Dilemma." The album debuted at #1 on seven different Billboard
charts and marked their fifth #1 in the UK. Saviors received
widespread critical praise, with Rolling Stone describing it as
"huge songs and snotty satire for a world on fire," while The
New York Times hailed it as "a
decisive, even overdetermined return to form." The New Yorker
summed it up best with "It's Green Day's world now." Green Day is
currently on their massive global stadium tour – The Saviors Tour –
where they play Dookie and American Idiot in their entirety, along
with other Saviors cuts and fan favorites. The tour will conclude
on September 28 at Petco Park in
San Diego.
