Imagine a big-time punk-pop trio from the Oakland area deciding, for fun, to record a cool song that reminded them of '60s garage rock—adventurous, reckless, and edgy but with a "doo-doo-doo" party sound. Imagine the lovechild of an unholy marriage between The Stooges and Tommy James And The Shondells. Imagine the track, "Mother Mary," leaking out and amazingly going Top 20 Modern Rock. Imagine the mysterious "new" band then deciding to release an EP for free on the Internet. Now imagine a full-length album—an actual album you can hold in your hands, just like way back before the dawn of the new millennium! Imagine Foxboro Hottubs and the album Stop Drop And Roll.
Album Description
Kerplunk! Californian quintet Foxboro Hottubs are poised to release their debut album 'Stop Drop And Roll!!!' on May 19th on Reprise. The album, also released on vinyl by Jingle Town Records, features the Billboard hit single 'Mother Mary'. 'Stop Drop And Roll!!!' features Foxboro Hottubs' energised hybrid of garage, rock 'n' roll and melodic punk that's reminiscent of cult bands such as The Network and Pinhead Gunpowder. The album includes the band's debut single 'Mother Mary' that hit the Top 20 of the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks amidst frenzied comparisons with a certain hugely successful rock band. Foxboro Hottubs aren't part of a redneck agenda; their adrenalised sound is equally reminsicent of classic sixties rock on the stomping 'Ruby Room', retro power-pop on 'The Pedestrian' (sample lyric: "It doesn't take a genius to be an idiot") and the furious garage rock of the title-track. Consisting of Jason White, Jason Freese, Michael Pritchard, Frank Edwin Wright III and the Reverend Strychnine Twitch, the band stated, "We are four guys who love to play music and be spontaneous. 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's name is explained simply: "The Foxboro Hottubs were a place we used to sneak booze and chicks into late at night. But most of the time it was just 'dude soup'."

 Well, okay then! August 10, 2008
So there is this new band that put out an album with an oh so familiar voice. And, yeah know what, it's pretty darn good... Who'd a thunk?
BUT
This still doesn't take the pressure off the boys to produce another Green Day album like they promised!
Get busy boys, your fans are waiting!!!
 FoxBoro Hot Tubs - Stop Drop and Roll... July 14, 2008
Awesome CD. I'm a big Green Day fan, and anything by Billy Joe Armstrong. This is a great CD - highly recommended for all Green Day fans.
LOVE! July 12, 2008
Absolutely love this release, as I do with almost anything released by Green Day or Billie Joe. Got the cd in the mail sooner than I expected & within seconds, it was in my player & blasting out of my speakers. Cannot quit replaying "Pedestrian" and my kids have the "ba ba ba" part of Mother Mary down to a science. They sing along quite well to "American Idiot," "Jesus of Suburbia," "Castaway" & "Deadbeat Holiday"....so they are true fans in the making as well. So all this to say, FBHT, aka Green Day, has quite the extended fan base. As well they should. Best band ever , in my mind.....Billie Joe rocks & can do no wrong with his music.
Great 60's garage sound July 11, 2008

I have listened to Green Day since they were playing 924 Gillman in Berkeley, but none of their albums grabbed me until American Idiot. That was one of the most brilliant punk albums ever. Foxboro Hot Tubs shows their musical talents in a different genre. They put together some great tunes with doo-wop and other stylings of the 60's and it works in their style. It's different and it's good.
Most Rocking Band Ever Hits a Home Run with Side Project July 9, 2008
All three members of Green Day, Tre on drums, Mike on bass, and Billie Joe on guitar and lead vocals! Foxboro Hot Tub's Stop, Drop, and Roll!!! is a throwback to Green Day's earlier music, with a bit of the 60's thrown in for good measure and variety. The songs "Mother Mary" and "The Pedestrian" stand out and are catchy and charming. Any fan of Green Day or the poppier side of punk will enjoy this album. It's awesome!
