Foo Fighters to release limited editions Vans to mark 25th milestone
Their latest effort - titled Waiting On A War - comes from an emotional and moving conversation that Dave Grohl had with his daughter, Harper. In stark contrast to the bludgeoning "final fuck you to 2020" (UPROXX) of its predecessor, "Waiting on a War" is a sprawling melodic opus that gradually builds to a patented FF rave-up.
The band also recently released a sentimental documentary focusing on their 25 years as a band. Is there more to this than just waiting on a war?
The band will release the acoustic track "Waiting On A War" on Thursday - which Dave Grohl called "one of the best songs we've ever written". Grohl asked rhetorically. "Because I need more".
While no exact drop date has emerged for the Foo Fighters Vans, the skateboarding shoe and apparel maker shared a preview of the sneakers this week (Jan. 12).
The nine-song Medicine at Midnight is due on February 5 and was co-produced by Greg Kurstin and Foo Fighters.
"It's filled with anthemic, huge, sing-along rock songs", he said.
Along with Foo Fighters' upcoming album, Taylor Hawkins has been busy in the studio with a few other familiar faces.
The release of "Waiting on a War" coincides with Grohl's 52nd birthday. Fellow musicians, fans and friends took to social media to help celebrate the special day. Pre-orders are available here. Which song off of Medicine At Midnight has been your favorite so far?
