With the recently leaked snippet of opener 'Bridge Burning' having surpassed 500,000 plays in one week, Foo Fighters have now unleashed a second morsel of hard rock goodness from their upcoming seventh studio album, out April 12 on Roswell/RCA.
FF fans jonesing for another several seconds of new material should head posthaste to www.foofighters.fm and move the virtual tuner to 101.5 for this new taste.
The album received its first public airing at a surprise gig Friday, January 28th at the minuscule Velvet Jones club in Santa Barbara, where the band ripped through the entire record from start to finish--and followed up with a crushing live collection of greatest hits and rarely played deep cuts including 'Wattershed' from the band’s self-titled 1995 debut.
In other live FF news, the band has announced its first U.S. show (so far) of 2011: a May 21st headlining appearance at the Hangout Festival in Gulf Shores, AL. The show is the second of many domestic dates to be announced in an upcoming world tour, the first being a May 27th appearance at the Sasquatch! Festival in George, WA.
Other recently announced FF dates abroad include headlining appearances at the UK’s Isle of Wight, the Netherlands’ PinkPop, Wulheide Stadium in Berlin, and numerous others across the UK and Europe including an already sold out 130,000 capacity July 2nd & 3rd headline “weekender” at the Milton Keynes Bowl in the UK.
Foo Fighters’ still untitled seventh album, produced by Butch Vig and mixed by Alan Moulder, was recorded entirely on analog tape in the garage of Dave Grohl’s home in California’s San Fernando Valley. The new record also marks the Foo Fighters’ first full length effort with legendary producer Butch Vig, who produced new tracks 'Wheels' and 'Word Forward' on 2009’s Greatest Hits and with whom Dave Grohl (of course) first worked on Nirvana’s classic Nevermind. Nirvana co-founder Krist Novoselic also makes a cameo, contributing bass and accordion to 'I Should Have Known,' while former Nirvana touring guitarist and longtime extended FF family member Pat Smear now joins the permanent FF core of Grohl, Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel and Chris Shiflett.
