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'."

 Foxboro Hot Tubs July 2, 2008
Green Day Rules !!! This just goes to show the talent these guys have to go from punk rock to garage rock and make it look so easy. By the way AWESOME show in New Orleans. I was front row and never saw a better show than that one. You guys RULE!!!!

Yeah it's Green Day. But no it's not. And while it only takes a quick glance at some reviewers to understand that shades of gray escape them, I gotta ask...why make such a big deal out of what is a one off, for their own fun, and hey some fans might like it too album? The songs are short, fast and fun, much like ice cream on a hot summer day. Take it for what it is.

This disc is rocking, noisy, garage-y, and most of all fun. That said, it makes no bones about its derivative intentions, including a (practically) note-for-note rewrite of (I'm Not Your) Stepping Stone. So, at the current price of $9.99 it's not much ventured, not much gained. Take it for what it is and let the party begin.
bonus cd? June 23, 2008
I just bought the LP but haven't opened it...I don't want it to get ruined. is the bonus CD in it? Like placed inside the records slip? and what is on it? My guess is the song that they got rid of, "Highway 1", that was on the free EP.
Surprisingly refreshing! June 23, 2008
After Green Day promised another album this year, I'd lowered my expectations. American Idiot wasn't as strong, in my opinion, as their older albums and Working Class Hero and The Saints Are Coming just weren't up to standard - they weren't fun enough. Then there was Foxboro Hottubs - incredible! Another The Network/Pinhead Gunpowder-style departure from the expectations attached to Green Day and it's absolutely amazing... the entire album reminds me of a mixture of 1,039 SOSH - Waiting era Green Day (especially some songs on the Waiting album, like Church On Sunday), The Kinks and a little bit of The Network. I definitely recommend it.
