Live review: Foo Fighters, London O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire
Foo Fighters get loose, feral and sweaty at last-minute intimate Shepherd’s Bush party.
Following February’s title-track, Foo Fighters have just unleashed the brilliant opening song from their forthcoming album Your Favorite Toy…
Foo Fighters have unveiled a brand-new single, Caught In The Echo.
The track opens up the band’s forthcoming 12th album Your Favorite Toy, which is due out on April 24 via Roswell Records/Columbia Records. Speaking last month, frontman Dave Grohl shared of his mindset going into this latest LP: “I got to this place where I was like, ‘Okay, so what’s the intention? What’s the ambition? Like, what are we?’ It’s our 12th record. We’ve been a band for 30 years and as people, we’re evolving and we’re growing. Where do we go from here? What do we do?’”
He went on to explain that “when all the boundaries just sort of fall away and that’s where you realise the intention and the ambition is all within yourself. So, whatever’s going to make us jump around and smile and scream… and that’s the purest intention. And we found it in [the title-track]. And this particular song was the springboard for the rest of the record. When we hit this, it was like we hit this little vein of gold and were like, ‘That’s the feeling, that’s the vibe, that’s the energy.’ And then we just blasted everything out in like three or four weeks.”
