Foo Fighters release new single to mark 30th anniversary

Foo Fighters have released a new single to mark the band’s 30th anniversary.

Frontman Dave Grohl has taken to the band’s official website to share details of Today’s Song, their new single, and to reflect on the Foo Fighters’ evolution over the years.

The 56-year-old star – who founded the rock band after previously starring in Nirvana – wrote: “This band began almost as an excuse. A reason to hang instruments around our necks and smoke cigarettes with the windows rolled up while listening to our favorite cassettes as we barreled down the interstate towards the next dark, sticky stage.

“We’d all been in the game for a while by then, mind you. We’d all played in other bands, with other people, some that ended much too soon. But we were far from finished. This was a mischievous and maybe necessary detour from maturity, reminding all four of us that our little brains were still wired like an overloaded extension cord, sparking from too many light strands on the Christmas tree. A childish refusal of adulthood, white knuckling the last grasps of adolescence. (Basically, we were just f****** around).

“But, before long it became clear that we were on to something more than just escape. Not necessarily in the musical sense. More of a “life” thing. This was a new beginning. A change. And it felt right. We had stumbled upon a shiny new toy that came without instructions and with much assembly required. So, we began to build it ever so carefully, piece by piece. (sic)”

Dave also paid a glowing tribute to Taylor Hawkins, who joined the Foo Fighters in 1997, and remained the band’s drummer until his death in March 2022, aged 50.

Dave – who recorded the band’s eponymous debut album in 1995 – wrote: “Taylor. Your name is spoken every day, sometimes with tears, sometimes with a smile, but you are still in everything we do, everywhere we go, forever. The enormity of your beautiful soul is only rivaled by the infinite longing we feel in your absence. We all miss you beyond words. Foo Fighters will forever include Taylor Hawkins in every note that we play, until we do finally reach our destination. (sic)”
