Stop Drop and Roll!!! is the debut studio album by the Americanrock band theFoxboro Hot Tubs. The full album was first available for digital download on April 22, 2008, and was released on CD on May 20, 2008. The title track "Stop Drop and Roll" was featured in the 2010 American comedy filmGet Him to the Greek, although it was not on the soundtrack album.
The album sold 19,000 copies in its first week of availability in the US,[4] and went on to sell over 55,000 copies there.[5]
The album was recorded whileGreen Day were writing their eighth studio album21st Century Breakdown; they ended up recording this album because 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".[6]
Initially the band made five tracks from the album available as a freeEP download on the band's website which included a song that was omitted from the album "Highway 1" (this song was replaced on the album with a song called "Broadway"). On this EP, there were samples included at the beginning of the songs:
These samples were removed from the album's official release and the free download is no longer available.
The original album art shown on the band's official website in December 2007 was updated for its full release in 2008. Changes included updating "6 songs" to "12 songs" and replacing "Highway 1" as mentioned on the cover with "Mother Mary", which was the first official single from the album and released to radio in 2008. The images features on the album were also rearranged.
The physical album release comes with the CD in a cardboard sleeve reminiscent of vinyl records, with the CD face resembling a vinyl record. The CD face also came with a humorous message that said "Warning: Do Not Play Side B". The album is also referred to as having a "Side A" and "Side B" like vinyl-era albums. The vinyl edition included a free CD version of the album.
All tracks are written byFoxboro Hot Tubs.
