Foo Fighters Drop New Song Honoring Past Band Members

Foo Fighters have surprised fans with their first original material since 2023, a new single named “Today’s Song,” released to mark the 30th anniversary of their 1995 debut album. The single has a lot of personal meaning for the band, especially Dave Grohl; artwork for the single features a white-bird painting by Grohl’s 16-year-old daughter, Harper. Grohl also posted a heartfelt letter thanking former bandmates, including recently fired drummer Josh Freese, early drummer William Goldsmith, guitarist Franz Stahl, and the late Taylor Hawkins, whose influence he called “ever-present.” The release follows the group’s Minor Threat cover drop earlier this week and signals what Grohl describes as “the opening salvo of our next chapter.”
