Band of the Week: Foxboro Hot Tubs

I've been doing my band of the week piece for quite a while now and have profiled a ton of bands in doing it, but it isn't very often that I know nothing of a band's history when I write about them but that's the case with Foxboro Hot Tubs. I have no idea where this brand new band came from, all I know is that their album landed on my lap this week and I just can't stop listening to.

There's something to be said about doing a retro sound well, and the Foxboro Hot Tubs do just that. With tunes that sound like they are ripped from the garage band era of the 50's and 60's, Foxboro might just be bringing the sound back from the dead. There are points on their debut album, Stop, Drop, and Roll!!! that remind me so much of some of the punk bands from the mid-90's, but it still gives off and older vibe for the most part. Their's elements of garage, surf rock, punk, and pop music all over the album, which is leading me to believe that the band is from California but I can't confirm or deny that. There are times where I swear the singer has the exact same snarl as Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong, but then they change up it just enough to make me think that it's not him.

Regardless of where this band is from or what they've done in the past, this is a damn fine album with some seriously catchy songs. If you haven't listened to it yet make sure you grab it off of iTunes ASAP, and if you have info on this band please feel free to send it along!
