The Foxboro Hot Tubs is an American garage rock band. The group made its first appearance on the music scene in December 2007, debuting three songs on their website, http://www.foxborohottubs.com. Soon after, the Foxboro Hot Tubs were discovered and subsequently made headlines, being heralded as the next secret side project of Green Day, which was later confirmed by the band themselves. Billie Joe Armstrong told NME magazine: “The only similarity between Green Day and Foxboro Hot Tubs is that we are the same band.” His reasons for starting the band, also told to NME magazine, were that they “love to play music and be spontaneous, [and] after a few late-night jams and a few too many bottles of wine, we were inspired to record some rockin’ eight-track recordings.” In a similar manner to other side project The Network, Billie Joe has adopted an alter ego for Foxboro Hot Tubs – Reverend Strychnine Twitch. ”Strychnine Twitch” is also mentioned in the lyrics to the title track, Stop Drop And Roll: “Sixteen and a son of a bitch/got a gun and a strychnine twitch”. Discovered by Green Day fans on a lonely corner of MySpace, news of the side project soon spread and the album has since become a small success with fans worldwide.
