This week, Foo Fighters shared âUnder Youâ â the latest single to be released from their forthcoming album âBut Here We Areâ â and announced a free global streaming event.
Set for release on June 2 via Roswell Records/Columbia Records, the LP will mark their first new material since the passing of drummer Taylor Hawkins in 2022. ‘Under You’ follows first single âRescued’ in previewing the LP.
The band confirmed that they would be continuing to make music in January. This followed the sudden passing of their drummer Taylor Hawkins in March 2022, while the band were on tour in Colombia.
Currently, the identity of the bandâs new drummer remains unknown, although both Pearl Jamâs Matt Cameron and Rufus Taylor (son of Queenâs Roger Taylor) have denied speculation that they are now involved in the bandâs new project.
Elsewhere, Death Cab For Cutie and The Postal Service’s joint headline appearance at Riot Fest comes as part of a huge joint tour of North America for Ben Gibbard’s bands.
