While we were on holiday, the American punk band Green Day gave its fanbase a sweet treat.

The three-member band—known for singles “Holiday” and “American Idiot”—released an 18-track compilation album last Saturday in conjunction with Record Store Day, an internationally observed day that celebrates the record store culture.

In keeping with the spirit of the release day, the 18 demo recordings from the making of the band’s “¡UNO! ¡DOS! ¡TRÉ!” album trilogy are available only on double vinyl, CD and cassette tape.

In addition to the demo recordings, the aptly named “Demolicious” includes a previously unreleased track, “State of Shock,” and an acoustic version of “Stay the Night” from the band’s “¡UNO!” album released in 2012.

The intro to “State of Shock” shows that this punk rock band has stayed true to its sound for the past 10 years.

Listening to the newly released track, I found myself reliving the moment back in 2004 when I put my first CD into my new Sony Walkman CD player and pushed play.

After a thunderous guitar and drum into, Green Day’s lead singer and guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong started singing about not wanting to be an American idiot, and I was hooked.

The album “American Idiot” went onto to win the Grammy Award for Best Rock Album in 2005 and spawned five internationally successful singles, “American Idiot,” “Boulevard of Broken Dreams,” “Holiday,” “Wake Me Up When September Ends” and “Jesus of Suburbia.”

With all of those great songs on one album, I never thought I’d need to buy another CD again.

But then I listened to the album less and less until one day I got an iPod and “American Idiot” was not uploaded to my iTunes.

Ten years later, I’m now twice the age I was when I was singing along to Armstrong, broken dreams and American idiots, and I haven’t listened to Green Day since then.

However, when I listened to the intro from “State of Shock,” I heard that intro from “American Idiot,” and I was reminded of those times when I would air-guitar in front of thousands of imagined fans.

The acoustic version of “State of Mind” will also remind of you Green Day’s classic “Good Riddance.”

Have you ever had those moments with music?
