Filed under: Listen To This

greenday.jpg

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.

    Awww, poor things who can't remember Green Day in their pre-TRL glory…of course this is Billie Joe singing, all of it sounds like Nimrod. The beauty of it is that it IS sloppier than their perfectly tweeked radio hits. It isn't quite as low-fi as

Seriously, it's so funny how you go and try to insult people and then have no clue what you are talking about. Hello!!! Good Riddance????? Dumbass

    Does anyone remember when Green Day used to be punk…ahhh those were the days.

    120

    I love Green Day. American Idiot was revolutionarily - before it's time. Ask the guys if they've ever played ping-pong on a train…

    Their new sound is cool. If anyone like's 60's jazz sound there was a band about 5 years ago called Noonday Underground. Light Brigade, London…awesome jazz retro sound. I was going through an underground jazz bar stage. Had a boyfriend who was into rockabilly though, he looks a lot like Andy Hurley. Think the guy your looking for looks a lot like Chris Taylor, could be Kurt's dead ringer.

    121

    I miss the punk days too!!! I love the old mixing with the new and the new mixing with the old. I still listen to the misfits and bad religion, and its nice to see that their still here

  23. alison says – reply to this


    123

    All the songs have the classic intonation of Billie Joe Armstrong in them…if you're daft enough not to notice, then please don't declare yourself as a fan/encyclopedia of Green Day. Green Day has previously released songs under The Network as well, and it was a NO-BRAINER that it was them. It's the same case for Foxboro Hot Tubs as well…anyways…

    NEW STUFF SOUNDS FUCKING KICKASS!
    Clearly not classic Green Day, but it's always good for a band to evolve and experiment. Keep it up guys!

  24. billie joe says – reply to this


    124

    its green day idiots… just like… "the network" is and "pin head gunpowder" is billie joe singing.. they do this shit all the time.. if you think they suck get a clue and go listen to some avril you shit heads……

  25. GREENDAYISLIFE says – reply to this


    125

    OMG OMG OMG!!!!
    THAT IS DEFINITELY BILLIE JOE!!!

    CHRISTMAS CAME EARLY!!!!!!!

  26. Kait says – reply to this


    126

    Well it might be them. Green Day is known for their side bands. For example, look for Pinhead Gunpowder. It is w/o a doubt Billie Joes side band, and they're pretty amazing to say the least in punk music standards. So check them out too! This one sure sounds good though.

  27. 123 says – reply to this


    127

    Re: shell
    Billie Joe is the singer for Green Day
    Him and Billie Joel are you different people.

  28. nomi89 says – reply to this


    128

    OH and all you fans out there who are spelling it wrong, its BILLIE JOE! B–I–L–L–I–E! NOT BILLY! omg. that is a MUST know for every fan! I think it is SO sad when you can't even learn how to spell the lead singer's first name, yet you claim to love the band. Kind of like when retards say they love his blue eyes. ugh are they for real? They are GREEN dumbasses!!!

  29. anonymous says – reply to this


    129

    The songs are pretty awesome. Green Day are an awesome band, definately one of the better bands out there these days.

  30. nomi89 says – reply to this


    130

    Another interesting fact, the Green Day song 'Tired Of Waiting', off of Shenannigans, has an almost identicle beginning to the song 'Red Tide' by the Foxboro Hot Tubs. Compare them and you'll see. It's actually VERY creepy…

  31. Wang says – reply to this


    131

    "Tired Of Waiting" is actually a song Green Day covered by a band called The Kinks, formed in the 1960's.

    And this is definitely Green Day, anyone who's says it's not doesn't know GD. I'm just not sure what to think of it yet. I hope the next record they put out sounds nothing like this though, that would be a complete downer.

  32. iloveMCRmorethanGREENDAY says – reply to this


    132

    Loved the first one, liked the others.

  53. jason says – reply to this


    153

    if its not green day with a new sound, that band studdied Green day hard core then made thier own music, because everything about those songs SCREAMS Green Day

  54. Rob says – reply to this


    154

    Back in the day There was so much good music coming from indie labels. Out of the bay area was a great little label that put out some great tunez. It was Lookout! I always loved their comps, packed with hits. Most of these bands had a pop kinda sound. This album brings back moments of greatness that I once thought were lost in the 90's. Lookout for the next wave

  55. Carla says – reply to this


    155

    if it IS them, it's fab. However, I don't think it is. Do you realize how many Green Day Wanna-Be bands are out there? LOTS.

  56. Rosemary says – reply to this


    156

    Dookie was the best@! AI sucked! Some of Nimrod was ok. But their old stuff is best.

    THAT'S SO GREEN DAY! BJ has such a unique voice and if you listen to the one song mother mary from this band I hear a small similiarity to the song on American Idiot that's like "tales from another broken home" I forget the name of it ’cause my brother stole my damn copy of the CD. pissed me right off but meh. LOVE GREEN DAY!

    sounds amazing.

  82. seriously says – reply to this


    182

    It's called rockabilly for all the wannabe music critics above who probably can't even play an instrument but still enjoy bashing bands just because they got a record deal. If you don't like it, don't listen to it, your opinion doesn't matter.

  83. Monkeycox says – reply to this


    183

    Dude, have you ever even listened to Green Day? That sounds NOTHING like BJ. You're a fucking idiot.

  84. Laura says – reply to this

    Well… I happen to absolutely LOVE it!!!! Thank you Perez!!!

  85. Wang says – reply to this


    185

    Re: Monkeycox

    haha, ok. Believe what you want, but this is GREEN DAY. Even the guitar tones and drums sound like it would be Green Day, because oh yeah, IT IS!

    Thanks for the Info about these songs…Mother Mary is the best song on the EP it totally has the 60's vibe with harmonies and sing a long lyrics..Beautiful..

  88. katie says – reply to this


    188

    it's definitely them. billie's voice and tre's drum beats are unmistakable. they did the same thing with the band The Network, only they were experimenting with 80's music. CHECK THEM OUT TOO.

  89. Dookie Head says – reply to this

    THE LAST GREAT BAND.

    Fall out BOY
    TAKE SOME LESSONS. U HOMOS

  90. geeeuh says – reply to this


    190

    I honestly think it's very hard to tell bands apart with this sound and voice. It does however sound a lot like Billy Joe towards the end of the first song, and the second song definitely. I have my doubts, but that would be so fun if it was them!

  91. peter says – reply to this


    191

    Green Day can do no wrong. Except, of course, "Warning."

  92. Rhiannan says – reply to this


    192

    Its deffo Green Day, Billie Joe's vocals are obvious haha.
    And also at the start of Highway 1 someone says "your doing it fucking wrong" which is what Tre said at the end of his Chocolate Rain vid.
    Yay :)

  93. MJ says – reply to this


    193

    good guys always ends up with ugly women,my god! hehehee..

    ANYWAY,I LOVE GREEN DAY,ONE OF THE FEW REMAINING GREAT BANDS..BANDS NOWADAYS ARE FULL OF CRAP,TERRIBLE MUSIC!!!! FALL OUT BOY IS SOOOOO GAY!!!!SO PLEASEEEEE,SOMEONE PLEASE SHOOT FALL OUT BOY ON THEIR HEADS!!!

  94. Kimberly says – reply to this


    194

    Woooow. I used to love green day, but daaamn they sound like a euro rock group in these. Like arctic monkeys or the kooks or something. Hmmm. Not sure if I like that or not. I miss the old stuff. I'm a huge fan of brit and indie rock, so I can roll with it, but it doesn't sound like them to me.

  95. Abbie says – reply to this


    195

    You early Green Day purists are so ignorant. God forbid a band mature and experiment with different sounds. While I may resent the "omgamericanidiotistehroxrz" fans, I congratulate Green Day on their success on that album. Sure, it may mean they'll be playing at arenas instead of clubs, but I'll just get pit tix[only if reasonably priced] and step on all the eyeliner-laden tweens.

    They are an amazing band who have incredible staying power and can do no wrong.

    Perez, that music sounds a hell of a lot like them[who can deny that voice?], and even if it isn't, I'd still grab that cd.

    198

    Re: Jen – Sweetheart, you can't honestly believe that Dookie isn't TRL. Nimrod came out after Dookie and the only two songs that had ANY time on MTV were "Hitchin' a Ride" and "Time of Your Life". Granted, "TIme of Your Life" is a classic, But Dookie had about four songs that had a seemingly infinate amount of ari time, and three of them were singles that all reached MTV and TRL. So, Dookie was TRL. And another thing, you can take that "Punker then thow" attatude and shove it up your ass.
