FOO FIGHTERS

Fresh from their acclaimed performance at this year’s Glastonbury, the Foos are set to release a new studio album, titled Concrete And Gold, in September. The band have also lined up a show at London’s O2 Arena on September 19.

Concrete And Gold, produced by Greg Kurstin, is the band’s ninth album. It will contain 11 songs, including The Sky Is A Neighborhood, Run, Happy Ever After (Zero Hour) and Make It Right. Dave Grohl believes that it sounds like “Motörhead doing Sgt Pepper by The Beatles”, thanks to “some of the most insanely heavy Foo Fighters riffs ever, with lush harmonic complexities”.

Grohl told the BBC that the new album features “a bunch” of guests, including “the biggest pop star in the world. They sing back up on one of the heaviest songs on the record, and we’re not telling anyone who it is.” DL
