What do you do if you’re tired of playing the same kind of music year after year? Form a side project! Green Day’s last side project The Network was a great foray into New Wave, this time, however, they have decided to take the bands that influenced them and try to emulate them. Foxboro Hot Tubs - Stop Drop and Roll is what the project is called and that is simply because Green Day - Recreates Its Favorite Moments From Sixties Records was a bit too obvious. Have a listen and see if you can spot the references.
FHB - Sally (these guys don’t MONKEE around)
FHB - Alligator (KINKy)
FHB - 27th Ave Shuffle (WHO could they be trying to emulate?)
For what it is, it’s well done, but I was hoping for something a bit more original. Here’s hoping the next official Green Day release isn’t this derivative.
PS - I am using a new File Host so let me know if you have problems.
Songs didn’t really do much for me, but definitely can hear more than than a few references. Noticed it the most in Sally for some reason. I am looking forward very much to the next Green Day album though.
Yeah, the songs aren’t bad, just kind of bland.
