Green Day have confirmed that The Foxboro Hot Tubs is, as I think everyone knew by now, them by another name. The band told MTV: "We think that the only similarity is that we are the same band. That is basically the only similarity... We are four guys who love to play music and be spontaneous, [and] after a few late night jams and a few too many bottles of wine, we were inspired to record some rockin' eight-track recordings".
The band have already released some songs via their side project for free online, though they now say there will be a proper album release, saying: "The record goes up for sale any day. We hope people have a chance to pick up the soon to be released vinyl. If you want to buy it, buy it. If you already have it, buy it anyway!"
