Foo Fighters Album: Great news for Foo Fighter fans as an album is actually on the works following months of speculation! Foo Fighters have finally confirmed details of their highly-anticipated eighth studio album on their official website. The as-yet-untitled record, serving as the follow-up to 2011′s excellent Wasting Light, will arrive in the fall through Roswell/RCA Records.
The album's release will happen together with the airing of Dave Grohl's new HBO TV series entitled 'Sound City', which was first reported yesterday. According to a press release:" the series will document Foo Fighters' sessions in eight different cities - Chicago, Austin, Nashville, Los Angeles, Seattle, New Orleans, Washington, DC and New York - as they record the album in various legendary studios."
The press release explains: "One song was recorded in each city, every song featuring local legends sitting in, and every lyric written in an unprecedented experimental style: Dave held off on putting down words until the last day of each session, so as to be inspired by the experiences, interviews and personalities that became part of the process.
"Each episode delves into the singular regional identity of each city-how each region shaped these musicians in their formative years, and in turn the impact those people had on the cultural fabric of their hometowns-ultimately celebrating their common bond: Every artist that appears in the show, regardless of genre or locale, started as an average kid with the universal dreams of making music and making it big."
The first episode of the series will premiere on the eve of the band's 20th anniversary. Grohl himself served as director.
The band is popular for their hit songs 'Everlong', 'My Hero', 'Best Of Me' and more.
Additional details will be revealed in the coming weeks.
