[ChrisIsGawd]

ooh i was hoping this band was an april fool joke

[brantley23]

in the article it says that the full length album is currently available as a download. it hasn't been released anywhere on the website for downloading and on the myspace page it says it will be available soon. so thats wrong

[chillaxehn]

april fool

[DirkLance]

Already knowing this was about Green Day's side project, I was really hoping it was another April Fool's joke.

I can never say it enough about this band: POMPOUS SELL OUTS!!!

[bolezhinkov]

eh, sometimes after you have proven something to yourself you can sell out. I havent done it, and will not, but I see where bands like green day and RHCP and more are coming from.

but still - this band makes bad music.

maybe theyre trying to get back a little bit of cred by not throwing the green day name around with this group? it doesnt help that BJA sounds exactly the same every time he opens his mouth though.

[MarshmallowPies]

I love the Foxboro Hot Tubs. I'm starting to get mad that I can't download the album yet.

[Rock Boy]

People change there writing styles. Get over it!

[godberry]

why don't they stop screwing around and finish working on the next green day album!

[Silverstein X]

why call ur band another name and release a cd? that doesnt make any sense to me. maybe if they changed the band a little.

[connorlawhorne]

They did change the band, foxboro has a distinct 60's garage throwback sound. This is something Greenday does incorporate, but that band also has a lot more as far as inspiration goes. A lot of bands do this when they feel some new material doesn't really fit with the band they have. For example, Tom Delonge/Travis Barker, in Boxcar Racer, though that wasn't the entire band, still the same deal there.

[guitarmania93]

well, its a bit different from other green day. and why the hell do they have a separate band?

[mnhockey99]

There's been a lot of activity lately on their myspace, my guess it will be released on April 6th, Adrienne Armstrongs birthday.

To create and release music that lies outside the expectations that people have for your typical Green Day record.. U2 did the same thing. They released a record called 'Original Soundtracks 1' under the name Passengers in 1995. Purely to be experimental and different without getting people all up in a bunch about U2 "changing directions" (Although their 'Pop' record would follow in '97.. so they kind of were changing directions...)

[Serjem]

i cant wait... i love some of the songs... but i dislike some... red tide for example ;D

[Shread_6009]

no problem with green day, just don't care for them

its so obvious these guys are greenday, they should've just self released it with no hype, if it does well, it means they've got real skill.

If they're not Green Day, then their singer sounds REMARKABLY like Billy Joe...

[Dingoman]

how do we know its green day?i mean,aside wikipedia,can i see some pictures of them live or something for some proof?

[KileManA7X]

I'm not buying this. UG why must you tell us what we wanna hear just to fool us? That's just mean .

[rhcpkate]

glad i downloaded the EP a few months back when it was free.
green day or not, still an awesome band.

[FiveStarMotel]

Just bought the song, totally worth the 99 cents, awesome song fantastic band (Obviously it's Green Day, come on poeple! there should be 0% doubt)

[FiveStarMotel]

how the hell can this be an apri lfool's joke? This band came out awhile ago and they're offering a song to download. there's n0 joke here, guys

[Anonymouslyours]

Okay.. don't even bother question if it's Green Day or not... if it wasn't, don't you think these guys would come out and say "we are not green day" or something?
As for all you asking "why have another band", well it's simple. They probably wanted to release some songs in another direction from Green Day, so they can avoid all the junk about changing musical direction. I actually like this project better than Green Day itself.

yes man 4reel...

[whosamerica]

if they were sellouts why would they be doing a completely underground project under an assumed alias?


i give them props for doing something original and different from GD.

[Mistaa Man]

Green Day used to be way cool but honestly I don't care for American Idiot. I miss their old sound especially Dookie and Nimrod and Insomniac. Warning was awesome too and I liked some of Shenanigans.
I do also like the Foxboro Hottubs band, I think that's pretty cool sounding.

[ShamiqSevenfold]

hoped this was a april fools joke

*checked*

[STEALmyDOG]

why does everyone flame green day whenever theres news? metallica are sellouts too but everyone on here bums them.

[Philip1982]

I think people are terrified to admit to liking something moderately 'mainstream'. Why don't people just grow up and accept that good music is good music?
I got the 1st 6 tracks in Nov last year and love it.
And as if this is not Green Day!!! You must be joking there is no doubt.

[STEALmyDOG]

^agreed 100%

[MetallicaFan333]

Dude, GreenDay should just stop, and f*ck off... I'm so tired of their new shit that I wish I had sniper rifle, Goddamn... I like theír old shit, like, Basket Case, Longview, and Brain Stew... I like that, but the new shit just sucks, and Billy Joe Armstrong can go with the rest of the band and make-out with them again... F*cking faggot... And STEALmyDog, if you ever bash Metallica again, I will *bash* your f*cking face in... in the mosh pit, at a Metallica concert, with the help of the 100,000 fans there at the concert with me... Goddamn!!! Later...
