While the Foo Fighters have released new music on their website, only one out of the ten new pieces features a vocal with all between titles five and ten seconds long.
Though no information has been shared about the new repertoire, the snippets are believed to be part of songs that will form the iconic band’s first LP since 2023’s But Here We Are.
By clicking on band posters or photographs stuck to a wall in a bedroom filled with a guitar, CDs and some dirty clothes, each clip can be accessed on the band’s www.foofighters.com website.
Confirming that the band’s 12th full length is now complete, frontman Dave Grohl told their Tasmania, Australia audience “We’ll be back here sooner than you think. I know when we’re coming back! It is before my next birthday [January 14, 2027], just so you know.” “And we might have a whole new record of f****** songs that we just finished the other day. I dunno!”
In 2025, the Foo Fighters dropped two new songs ‘Today’s Song’ and ‘Asking For A Friend,’ along with a live album Are Playing Where??? Vol. I, in October.
After breaking “multiple bones in his foot” in a “bizarre gardening accident”, the Foo’s launched their Take Cover tour in Mexico in January without guitarist Pat Smear, who was forced to sit out the shows. Making light of the situation by mocking up a fake magazine cover of the 66-year-old musician in a wheelchair with his bone scan in a pullout, the headline read: “Breaking News. Pat Smear Bizarre Gardening Accident!” It references This Is Spinal Tap, the 1984 mockumentary in which the fictional band’s former drummer, Stumpy Pepys, is said to have died in a “bizarre gardening accident,” and the authorities supposedly declared it “best left unsolved.”
In place of Smear, Beck and St. Vincent guitarist Jason Falkner has been filling in.
The cover was captioned on the band’s Instagram: “BREAKING NEWS! “In the classic tradition of rockstars having bizarre gardening accidents, Pat Smear has apparently rung in the new year by smashing the s*** out of his left foot.
“This means he’ll unfortunately be missing a few shows while the multiple broken bones in his foot heal. We’ll miss our beloved Pat as much as you will, but we want him fully healed and back on his feet as soon as possible.” “Beck and St. Vincent guitar wizard Jason Falkner will be filling in for Pat while he’s on the mend.”
