Foo Fighters have released a new track, ‘Today’s Song’, marking first original music since 2023’s But Here We Are. The power ballad follows the band’s recent cover of Minor Threat’s ‘I Don’t Wanna Hear It’. Take a listen below.
In a statement, Dave Grohl said, “It should go without saying that without the boundless energy of William Goldsmith, the seasoned wisdom of Franz Stahl, and the thunderous wizardry of Josh Freese, this story would be incomplete, so we extend our heartfelt gratitude for the time, music, and memories that we shared with each of them over the years. Thank you, gentlemen.”
“And… Taylor,” he continued. “Your name is spoken every day, sometimes with tears, sometimes with a smile, but you are still in everything we do, everywhere we go, forever. The enormity of your beautiful soul is only rivaled by the infinite longing we feel in your absence. We all miss you beyond words. Foo Fighters will forever include Taylor Hawkins in every note that we play, until we do finally reach our destination.”
Earlier this year, Foo Fighters parted ways with Josh Freese, who took over on drums following Hawkins’ passing, and a press release does not specify who’s playing drums on the new track. The band’s current lineup is listed as Dave Grohl, Nate Mendel, Pat Smear, Chris Shiflett, and Rami Jaffee.
