Listen To This: New Green Day!

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.

And click here to download the music!

A nice modern sound to this, pretty hot!
This is better than AI, and Billie's voice has a nice tone.. Cool!
of course says – reply to this

31

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

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…………..
Phillip Brand says – reply to this

45

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.

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.

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.

Thats not Billie Joe, sorry guys
dutchy says – reply to this

65

that is soo bj,
100% sure, he has a very unique voice.
yourright says – reply to this

66

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.
steph says – reply to this

67

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….

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
lex says – reply to this

72

sounds a lot like them
shrapnel says – reply to this

73

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.

74

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…..

Lilia says – reply to this

77

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.
Caro says – reply to this

78

(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.
chakakhan says – reply to this

80

the ruby room is a hippster hangout on 14th street in oakland…near where they live. that bar is disgusters.
brody says – reply to this

81

it does sound like billie joe, doesn't it?
but that's not him, billie's voice is more raw and scratchy.
gigi says – reply to this

82

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!
Sweet says – reply to this

83

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
Tres Tres Chic says – reply to this

84

They definitely sound Green Day-ish but the singer sounds NOTHING like Billie Joe.
hearditbefore says – reply to this

85

Is this your idea of originality? Nothing is outstanding and I wont buy it.
Oliver says – reply to this

86

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.
WTF? says – reply to this

87

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.

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.
kj says – reply to this

91

Are you crazy? That is so not Green Day.
Michelle says – reply to this

92

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.
Ily says – reply to this

93

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.
Xihix says – reply to this

94

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.

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.
Melisa says – reply to this

97

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.
