The Foos are back! Over the weekend HBO finally aired this year’s Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Ceremony which saw Nirvana, KISS, and Cat Stevens (among others) get inducted and with it came our first look at the new HBO series, Foo Fighters: Sonic Highways. The sneak peek (above) gives us the first look into the series that’s chronicling the making of the Foo Fighters’ as yet-untitled eighth album in studios all across America, due out November on Roswell/RCA.
Grohl has stated about the band’s most ambitious effort to date: “I’ve pulled up the family tree of American music and exposed its roots to find inspiration for the next Foo Fighters album.” Grohl, Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel, Chris Shiflett and Pat Smear tapped into the musical heritage and cultural fabric of each of these cities — Austin, Chicago, Los Angeles, Nashville, New Orleans, New York, Seattle and Washington DC — basing themselves at a legendary studio integral to the unique history and character of each location. One song was recorded in each city, all featuring local legends sitting in, with 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 for the HBO series, and other local personalities who became part of the process. Foo Fighters: Sonic Highways premieres this fall on HBO.
Tell me this isn’t enough to get you excited about this album!
