After a year full ofanniversaries, surprise shows, drummer dos-si-dos, andgardening accidents, theFoo Fightersare back in full force withYour Favorite Toy.
Foo Fighters will release their 12th full-length studio album on April 24, via Roswell Records/RCA. To get fans excited, they shared the title track, a fuzzed-out garage rocker that takes the rock-and-roll attitude and drives it into the red.
The band—Dave Grohl,Nate Mendel,Chris Shiflett,Pat Smear,Rami Jaffeeand new drummerIlan Rubin—sound raw and unrestrained on the song, which sees Grohl sing, "Get back / Hear that, boy? / Someone threw away your favorite toy for good / For good."
"'Your Favorite Toy' really was the key that unlocked the tone and energetic direction of the new album," says Dave Grohl in a press release. "We stumbled upon it after experimenting with different sounds and dynamics for over a year, and the day it took shape, I knew that we had to follow its lead. It was the fuse to the powder keg of songs we wound up recording for this record. It feels new."
