The Network – A Green New Day
Ok so have you ever gotten the feeling that you’re on to someone? Or maybe you’re in on one of those “if you know, you know,” situations? Well everyone has their secrets & The Network is definitely on my radar in every sense of that statement.
Even though Billie Joe is supplying the denying, I’m for sure giving this six-piece new wave band the Green Day side-eye.
Interestingly, The Network released their debut album Money Money 2020 back in 2003. If you really wanna psych yourself out, you’ve gotta go check out it’s track list! Now I’m not saying that Green- Er – The Network’s politically tinged songs predicted the future…but well, it kind of seems like The Network’s politically tinged songs have predicted the future.
Why am I going on about an album that was released back in 2003? Well it’s because The Network is back this year with a new four track EP to sooth our troubled ear-holes after the dumpster fire that has been 2020. Billie Joe Armstrong unloaded a clip of The Network’s new music video via his Instagram stories upon the EP’s release while tagging The Network & questioning, “What in the actual F*ck,” then dropping the statement that “The Network is not GD.” The ever so adored rocker then continued to elaborate with, “We are not The Network,” and, “I don’t know who these guys are,” topping it all off with, “F*ck these guys.” Ok Billie Joe, we love you & your side project The Network.

The short & sweet track list that The Network’s new album Trans Am boasts is, well, also not very politically subtle. You can check it out here:
As for Gree- Erm – The Network, well they’re not saying that they told you so but- what? They have? Ok yes, they actually are saying precisely that. You can check out the track that didn’t make their new EP Trans Am’s cut below.
