1) The Network i… Read Full Bio ↴There are three artists by the name of The Network:
1) The Network is a 5-piece new wave and synthpunk band from California. The band consists of all three members of Green Day and two of their touring musicians. Their stage names are Fink (Billie Joe Armstrong), The Snoo (Tre Cool), Van Gough (Mike Dirnt), Captain Underpants, and Z. It should be noted that Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong's alter ego is Wilhelm Fink and Green Day drummer Tré Cool went by King Underpants in the band The Lookouts but is reportedly The Snoo in The Network. These are clues as to the identities of the individual members, and it is known for certain that the members of Green Day are in The Network. After their album Money Money 2020, The Network added a new member to the band: Balducci.
Billie Joe Armstrong dismisses Green Day's involvement in The Network as but a rumor, ostensibly for publicity purposes, even getting into a competitive argument with The Network. Although the style of music is different (new wave as opposed to Green Day's pop punk style), Armstrong's voice can be unmistakably made out on several Money Money 2020 tracks. The official Network band site claims that "Fink" put out the money for the band himself. In reality, Billie Joe Armstrong fronted the money for the band himself, and they are signed to Adeline Records, the record company he co-owns. Neither Fink/Billie Joe's or The Snoo/Tré Cool's Masks fully cover their faces, making it quite easy to discern these two members. Van Gough sings on most Network tracks in a manner similar to that of Mike Dirnt.
2) The Network from NH revives 1997 with a sound similar to Turmoil, Coalesce, Bloodlet, Deadguy and a pinch of Refused and The Blood Brothers. Incredibly spazzy, The Network features ex-Dead Water Drowning/Premonitions of War vocalist, Nate Johnson on bass/backing vocals and guest appearances by Ryan Mckenney from Backstabbers Incorporated, Guy Kozowyk from The Red Chord & Adam Dulong of Cannae.
3) The Network (1960's) Released a Psychedelic Pop single in 1968 on the Spar Label.
Cat # 306, Track A: The Boys And The Girls, Composer: Mark Charron, Producer: George Motola, Track B: Ears Of Stone.
Possibly a studio band recording in Memphis. These tracks are included on quite a few compilations. Including: Ears of Stone: 1960s Folk Country & Pop From Nash & Fading Yellow Vol. 2.

The Network Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't believe in the end of time
I don't believe in the solar eclipse
I don't believe in valentines
I don't believe I asked opinion
I don't believe I stretched the truth
I am not looking for a bargain
I don't believe in everything I've read
I don't believe in promises
I don't believe in compromising
My own beliefs inside my head
I don't believe I asked opinion
I don't believe I stretched the truth
I am not looking for a bargain
All I really believe in is you
I don't believe I asked opinion
I don't believe I stretched the truth
I am not looking for a bargain
All I really believe in is you
The Network's song Roshambo delves into the singer's belief system and what they place their trust in. The lyrics express the singer's disbelief in a lot of things, such as the end of the world or solar eclipses, valentines and promises. It seems like the singer is someone who doesn't just take things on face value and seeks to find their own truth.

However, despite all of these doubts and uncertainties, the singer's singular and unwavering belief is in a person they cherish, who they place all their trust in.
