“21st Century Breakdown is sort of a collection of photographs, or ideas, or circumstances that have happened within the past five years. Whether it’s a different crisis or a natural disaster, or a financial breakdown, people losing their homes… revenge or whatever, there’s a lot of personal and political things going on in the record. It goes through a sort of dark tunnel with different themes, to hopefully find some sense of hope at the same time.” – Billie Joe Armstrong

Also known as Jingletown Studios, Studio 880 is where Green Day recorded Warning, the Foxboro Hot Tubs’ Stop Drop and Roll!!!, the ¡Uno! ¡Dos! ¡Tré! trilogy and parts of American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown.

"In the old days, the zoot-suit guys used to jingle their change, and this was their spot. It's been held down by Latino families for 50 years. And then there's us."

- Billie Joe Armstrong on Jingletown’s name (source)
