Foo Fighters Announce Intention To Carry On

Foo Fighters Carrying On The Foo Fighters family dealt with unimaginable tragedy in 2022 with the loss of drummer Taylor Hawkins. Obvious questions in regard to the future of the band were on our minds but not asked out loud out of respect. The band posted to their social media channels on New Year's Eve a note of reflection. Reminding us all the band formed 27 years ago to 'represent the healing power of music'. Frontman Dave Grohl started the project in the wake of Kurt Cobain's passing. The note continues, 'without Taylor, we know that we're going to be a different band going forward'. Questions remain as to who will fill the large shoes left behind by Hawkins.

Grohl-Led Documentary Chronicles ‘Life In A Van’ Before Massive Success For Bands

No band or musician starts out selling out Madison Square Garden or The Forum right away. It can take years to even progress past playing the bar circuit. A new Dave Grohl-directed documentary tells the story of a number of well-known bands just starting out. Perhaps it'll even inspire some of the next generation of talent to hit the road and test their fortunes once more concerts return. The new trailer for What Drives Us provides a sample of how the film will take an in-depth look at experiences from acts like No Doubt, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, U2, and many others before they started selling out arenas. Each act pays tribute to their early years on the road and points out how important that time was to their development. According to a press release the movie is a testament to...

Foo Fighters At The Top Of Their Game With ‘Medicine At Midnight’

The Foo Fighters were supposed to celebrate their 25th anniversary as a band in 2020 in grand fashion. A new studio album, tour and festival on 4th of July weekend were all planned but the onset of the pandemic forced a major change in plans. Fast forward to early 2021 and the long awaited 10th studio album from the band Medicine to Midnight has been released and it's been worth the wait. The nine track LP is their first since 2017's Concrete and Gold and is a return to form for the vaunted rockers. In an interview with Pitchfork, Grohl likens the new collection of tunes to a modern day dance record comparing it to Bowie's Let's Dance. They set out to make a fun record and it's mission accomplished on all fronts. Producer Greg Kurstin returned to helm the project after last worki...
