Though the group is mum, it appears that Green Day has released a new album under a different name. The album, "Money Money 2020," by a band dubbed The Network, was released on Tuesday (9/30) by frontman Billie Joe Armstrong's Adeline Records label. A listen reveals that the lead singer sounds remarkably similar to Armstrong.

Members of The Network "are extremely mysterious and never show their faces to humans or cameras," according to the Adeline Records website.
