Today marks the release of “If There Was Ever a Time” by Armstrongs - a group featuring Tim Armstrong (Operation Ivy/Rancid/Transplants), Billie Joe Armstrong (Green Day), Joey Armstrong (SWMRS), and Rey Armstrong.
Releasing the track via Hellcat Records, Armstrongs will donate 100 percent of proceeds to 924 Gilman: a DIY, nonprofit, all-ages venue for music, art, and community events in Berkeley, California.
“Anything that has to do with working with Gilman and Tim and Joey Armstrong, consider me in,” says Billie Joe. “This is about our home and family. Viva Armstrong!”
The song, “If There Was Ever A Time,” is featured in the film Turn It Around: The Story of East Bay Punk.
“It was exciting to work on this song with Billie and crew for the film,” says Tim. “Stoked to share the tune with everyone out there and to be donating all the proceeds to Gilman, which is a place so near, dear, and important to us.”
In addition, a run of flexi-disc singles (limited to just 1,000 copies) are available via Pirates Press here.
