Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong produced Don't Be A Dick, the full length debut from teen band Emily's Army.

The album will be released on June 14th digitally as well as on vinyl by Adeline Records. Here is the official background:

The 14-song set was recorded and mixed in four days at Oakland's Jingletown Recordings with the help of engineer Chris Dugan. Emily's Army counts the rich East Bay music scene and Gilman Street amongst their influences, along with classic power pop, and garage rock.

Emily's Army consists of prolific songwriting brothers Max and Cole Becker, guitarist Travis Neumann and drummer Joey Armstrong. At the ripe age of 15, 16 and 17 years old, the Oakland-based band has already spent two years touring up and down the West Coast.

The band takes its name from Max and Cole's 15 year-old cousin Emily, who was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis in 1998 and has suffered from the disease her entire life. In tribute, the band adopted the name Emily's Army, which also happens to be the moniker for a fundraising organization in their cousin's honor.
