FOO FIGHTERS have unveiled “Under You”, an aggressively melodic punk-tinged earworm sure to join its predecessor in massive summer singalongs on the band’s upcoming tour dates.
“Under You” is the second advance offering from the Rock And Roll Hall Of Famers’ 11th album, “But Here We Are”, out June 2 on Roswell/RCA. The new song follows “Rescued” — which has generated raves including “driven by a fresh sense of pathos and urgency” (The New York Times),“FOO FIGHTERS have never sounded more vital” (Consequence), “one of the FOOS‘ most immediate, emotional songs” (Vulture), “delivers everything fans have come to know and love” (Revolver) and more.
A brutally honest and emotionally raw response to everything FOO FIGHTERS endured over the last year, “But Here We Are” is a testament to the healing powers of music, friendship and family. Courageous, damaged and unflinchingly authentic, “But Here We Are” opens with newly released lead single “Rescued”, the first of 10 songs that run the emotional gamut from rage and sorrow to serenity and acceptance, and myriad points in between. Watch the lyric video below.
Produced by Greg Kurstin and FOO FIGHTERS, “But Here We Are” is in nearly equal measure the eleventh FOO FIGHTERS album and the first chapter of the band’s new life. Sonically channeling the naiveté of FOO FIGHTERS‘ 1995 debut, informed by decades of maturity and depth, “But Here We Are” is the sound of brothers finding refuge in the music that brought them together in the first place 28 years ago, a process that was as therapeutic as it was about a continuation of life.
“But Here We Are” is available for pre-order now.
Today also marks the announcement of “Foo Fighters: Preparing Music For Concerts”, a global streaming event packed with rock and roll (including debut performances of songs from “But Here We Are”),exclusive behind the scenes footage, and a few surprises — all captured in the spacious yet homey confines of the band’s own 606 studios. “Foo Fighters: Preparing Music For Concerts” will premiere May 21 at 8 p.m. BST / 3 p.m. EST / 12 p.m. PST exclusively at THIS LOCATION, with on-demand repeat viewing enabled through May 24. Whether you’ve got tickets for an upcoming FOO FIGHTERS show or not, don’t miss this chance to get intimate — and LOUD — with the last great American rock band.
“Shows like this don’t happen every day,” said Joel Madden, CEO and founder, Veeps. “To take this moment to gather fans worldwide, to give people an opportunity to share in the experience no matter where they are, is a gift. Having a place to make these moments accessible is why we built Veeps and we’re honored to be trusted with delivering this incredible show for FOO FIGHTERS and all of their fans.”
