Green Day is currently in the studio recording not one, not two, but three albums — a trilogy entitled "¡Uno!," "¡Dos!," and" ¡Tré!" — that will be released on Tuesday, September 25, 2012; Tuesday, November 13, 2012 and Tuesday, January 15, 2013, respectively.

The albums are the follow-up to"21st Century Breakdown," and are being produced by the band's long-time producer Rob Cavallo.

The albums are being recorded in their hometown of Oakland, Calif. "We are at the most prolific and creative time in our lives. This is the best music we've ever written, and the songs just keep coming," said the members of Green Day in a press release. "Instead of making one album, we are making a three-album trilogy. Every song has the power and energy that represents Green Day on all emotional levels. We just can't help ourselves... We are going epic as f___!"
