Trans Am is a studio EP by American new wave band The Network, a side project of the American punk rock band Green Day, released on November 20, 2020.

Background

After releasing their debut album Money Money 2020 in 2003, and opening for some dates during a Green Day tour in 2005, the band went on a 15-year hiatus. Mike Dirnt subsequently confirmed in 2013 that Green Day were in fact The Network.[2] In 2020, the band became active again, posting to their social media profiles a music video for their song "The Prophecy".

Release and promotion

The release of the EP came with the announcement of the second album,[3] as well as a music video for the title track, with videos for the songs "Ivankkka Is a Nazi" being released beforehand, and "Flat Earth" and "Fentanyl" released afterwards.[4]
