Move over Green Day and say hello to Foxboro Hot Tub.  This hasn’t been confirmed by the band, but NME is reporting that the band has released a six song EP for download on Myspace under the aforementioned moniker Foxboro Hot Tub.  Sounds sorta like an early rock’n'roll band, a la The Wonders crossed with the hard rythyms of The Hives.  And yes, I know that The Wonders aren’t a real band, thank you very much.

After giving their album a listen it sounds like it could be Green Day, but again it’s a very different sound for the band and the lead singer resembles Billie Joe Armstrong eerily, but I’m digging it.  If it is Green Day, then this is a cool way to try out new material, which is something bands  do all the time, play live shows to test out material under a different moniker.  How very 2.0 of them.
