These days it wouldn’t be so surprising to hear My Chemical Romance raining softly down from overhead speakers at your local Nordstroms. But before punk was fully incorporated into the Great Corporate American Songbook, a trio of scuzzy East Bay kids in their 20s paved the way with a multi-platinum album called Dookie. It’s been 25 years since Green Day released their pop-punk masterpiece. Now, another Bay Area power-pop trio, Pounders, plans to pay tribute to Billy, Tré and Mike by covering Green Day’s seminal 1994 album in its entirety.
