Listen To This: New Green Day!
Filed under: Listen To This
The internet is ablaze!!!!
While we eagerly await the new Green Day record, it seems like Billie Joe and crew are having a little fun with a side project.
A band called "Foxboro Hot Tubs" has released an EP of six songs that has people speculating that it's the Green Day boys experimenting with a new sound.
The tunes are very '60s-inspired and hella cool.
And the lead singer sounds like it's definitely Billie Joe!
Listen to the songs below. Judge for yourself.

I hate these fuckers.

Not them. So ovs.
Loves it!!!!
1st?
now, i'm not what you would call a fan of the greenday…but i can smell what they're stepping in…lad
Greenday has always sucked and they always will.
Your taste in music leaves much to be desired too..Specially your fuck buddy beth ditto
2nd!!!
first?
mehh… not too good..
Hey Kristine in RI
first?
1st?
this doesn't sound like billie joe at all.
FINALLY (on this site), A REAL BAND WITH REAL MUSIC!!!!!!
Ooooh pretty cool ^^
A nice modern sound to this, pretty hot!
This is better than AI, and Billie's voice has a nice tone.. Cool!
that doesn't sound like billie joe at all, or anything like the band, nowhere near as tight as them. sounds like a sloppy arctic monkeys/bad bay area ska band from the 90's rip off.
sorry
Green Day Rules!!!!!!!!!!!
foxboro is an area close to where green day grew up, its them.
commercial for monday night football or verizon?
Re: IndieMusicSucks – fuck you brit lover
eh. Not BJ.
first!
fantastic.
i love it. i miss these guys so much, its nice to see them back.. even if it is a side project. :]
You learn life's unfair the day you learn Billie Joe's happily married :S
lol
jussssst kiddin'
Green Day rocks my world;)
In Rosie O'Donell netspeak:
How pathetic
Searching for a hit
Cant find one
Billie Joe reading about his unpopularity
trying to make good music again
CAN'T.
Very Beatles/Doors-esque - LOVE IT!
Definately them was leaked onto the fanclub first by someone close to the band.
Like a cross betweeb ska & the clash, nothing new. In fact a very old sound shame they don't give them credit as it is so obvious to those that understand music know what they are listen to…………..
How sad!
trying to be like the Beatles by releasing music on under another Nom de Plume to see if it makes it.
I got news for you boys…
it sucks! it blows hunks and hunks of chunks!
Fuck you, Bill Joel Queer Bait
Go put on some fuckin' mascera so you look beautiful while I bash your brains in.
I'm going to invade your mansion tonight and murder everyone.
green day is fucking amazing!!! i love them and can't wait for their new cd to come out! they are kick ass…fuck off you haters….they actually write and play their own music.
Love it! It really rocks- even more than American Idiot!
who's billy joe??? are you talking about billy joel?
ehhhhhhhh could be better
ohh my. it most definetly sounds like my favorite boys.
i dont think its them….i still like it though
Wow thats great! I went to their website and downloaded all 6 songs! They're free! I really like Ruby Room and Mother Mary!
fuck, I don't even like greenday and I can still tell that that's not billie joel. doesn't sound a thing like his whiny voice.
love the sound bite from Valley of the Dolls! amazing!

Re: Phillip Brand – This from someone who thinks good music comes out of a computer with Britneys face on it. LOL
Go jack off to your "bit'o'brains" posters.
if people can't hear that that's definitely billie joe, than they are deaf.
it's green day and i'm loving it, they can't do wrong in my book
Re: kplaub` –
Actually on their web site and fan club they did site the influences of this side project, Perez just didn't put them up.
OMG OMG OMG
this is such a good sound
i love it
Re: dea – How embarrasing for you, all 6 songs are on their website right now. You really have an ear for singers! You probably think John Lennon sounds like Muddy Waters.
it does not even come close to sounding like billie joe…. idiot
those songs were ok,
but green day sucks balls.
I dont tihnk it sounds like them at alll. but, the last one kinda did. Lol. Well, meh. whatever. They change their sound alot
Thats not Billie Joe, sorry guys
that is soo bj,
100% sure, he has a very unique voice.
Ok I posted a comment earlier that I did not think it soundliked billy Joe….after another good listen to the 3rd song I changed my mind. its TOTALLY BILLY JOE!! but it still sucks.
that's clearly billie joe. obviously it's not going to sound exactly like green day.. that's why they're releasing it under another name. but there are moments of the songs when there's no doubt it's billie joe's voice. if your not a fan of green day, how do you expect to pick up on that? just because you can't recognize his voice doesn't mean others won't
Oh geeze I didn't know YOU were a Green Day fan….
They're great.
hooray! I've been waiting for like 4 years. it's got some Beatles vibes to it. cool.
so good
Re: dea – his name isn't Billie Joel. and it's probably him, there's symbols on their site from their other side project, the Network
sounds a lot like them
That is most definitely Billie Joe singing, and most definitely Tre drumming. It is a little like certain parts of American Idiot. I only semi-like the third one, and the other two I don't like at all.
I like their older stuff, I'm afraid. I'm not saying they shouldn't change (how many times can you write the same record, especially as you get older). I'm just saying this direction is not one that will keep me as a fan.
it sounds A LOT like Billie Joe.
its a possibility…. they like starting side projects.
i miss the old Green Day….
the Kerplunk! record was their best…..

I love these guys!!!!!!!!! Songs sound really good!
Sounds like green day. I am from their hometown area and I know Foxboro was a part of the town I am from. Maybe that's how they got that name.
(Perez, disculpa si escribo mal en inglés, es que soy de chile y hablo español)
well.. what can i say? i used to like this band… but…a lot of years ago… and their sound was so different! now all they do is playing the music of the moment… they shouldn't change their style… i think they're desperate for the people to like their music again.. it's so bad… i feel bad about it…
Going down to the Ruby Room? That sounds like Billy Joe to me.
the ruby room is a hippster hangout on 14th street in oakland…near where they live. that bar is disgusters.
it does sound like billie joe, doesn't it?
but that's not him, billie's voice is more raw and scratchy.
YAY!!!! new Green Day!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really like the new sound! One of those sounds reminds me of Jesus of Suburbia, so I can see them going in this musical direction.
I can't wait until they go on tour!
Though the guitar and the music in general has a Green Day thing to it, I really don't think this is Billie's voice… My 2 cents
They definitely sound Green Day-ish but the singer sounds NOTHING like Billie Joe.
Is this your idea of originality? Nothing is outstanding and I wont buy it.
I like Green Day but it sounds like their album American Idiot. If this is the best they are to come up with, then I'm going to not have to buy their next album and get it from Limewire instead.
OMG….that does NOT sound like Joel.
That sounds like rockibilly….which is NOT 60's.
Tool.
It sounds like 80's style Stray Cats!
And ….it doesn't suck like their previous music.
Thank God.
I could NOT take that crap on the radio anymore.
This I might actually buy.
LOL…Billy Joel….PLEASE…give the man some credit.
Gay men and their taste in music SUCK.
go back to the Spice Girls concert and wish you were someone famous.
the one with the red hair has a serious case of the GAY FACE, if you will
he kind of looks like ashlee simpson
I think it's funny that Green Day release their best music under different names.
THE NETWORK ..now there's a band that NEEDS, desperately, to come out with a new album.
Green Day used to rock (1995 and prior), since then.. their side projects have been putting out WAY better music.
ditch Green Day guys, stick to you side projects!
Its Green Day. Listen to "The Network" track called "Supermodel Robots". It the same sound, and The Network is Green Day.
Are you crazy? That is so not Green Day.
Sounds not so much like the 60's (please listen to the Golden Nuggets collection to get a start on your education) but more like the Strokes (mother mary specifically). Does sound just like Billy Joe but is not particularly modern sounding nor does it channel the most exciting elements of 60's rock. Blah, again, for Green Day.
No offence, boys, I love y'all, but your new music sucks. You sound like any other band out there. I've heard these tunes before, and they suck, so even if it comes from Green Day they won't get any better.
It is Green Day. Why? If you go on their official site (Foxboro Hot Tub's), and see the back cover of the album, it has the logo of the Church of Lushotology, which is the religion that the members of The Network worship. You can see the logo on The Network's website, too. It is no doubt that it is them. Regarding the music itself, I think it is really good. And to the shitheads saying stuff like it's ripping off certain bands, it's called influence. Every single band has it, and makes music from the influence of other bands they like.
91st! i love Green Day and I love Perez….xoxo
in this comments section, fags who only know American Idiot Green Day. The new songs really remind me of 1039 and Kerplunk! era, and I'm really loving it. If the new album is anything like this, this is awesome.
Well it sounds like billy Joe. Especially the third song.
But man, older green day is so much better.
Actually Jesus of Suburbia is a pretty decent song. They rule no matter what though.
i normally dont like greenday that much…. but i sure love this
definately sounds like billy joe
pretty sick music. i can get into the first song
like it
I LOVE GREENDAY!! I LOVE THE NETWORK AND I LOVE THIS!! xoxo
