Foo Fighters have released “Caught In The Echo”, the third single from their forthcoming 12th studio album Your Favorite Toy, out 04/24 via Roswell Records/RCA Records.
The track serves as the album opener and arrives as the most combustible preview yet of what the record has in store. Kicking off with a repeated “Do I? Do I? Do I? Do I?” and closing on “Who can save us now?”, it signals the kind of raw, live-room energy the band has been building toward — drawing comparisons to “Bridge Burning”, the opener from 2011’s Wasting Light.
Your Favorite Toy was recorded at home and co-produced by Foo Fighters and Oliver Roman, with engineering also handled by Roman and mixing by Mark “Spike” Stent.
To mark the single’s release, the band hid 20 personally burned CDs of the track across the San Fernando Valley — tucked into indie record shops, grocery stores, bookshops, and pharmacies — each one featuring hand-drawn artwork by Dave Grohl and his daughter Harper. Updates on the scavenger hunt are being posted to the band’s Instagram.
The album’s arrival kicks off the “Take Cover” world tour, with a North American stadium run launching 08/04 at Rogers Stadium in Toronto and wrapping 09/26 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. Queens Of The Stone Age are confirmed as direct support on all dates except the 09/12 show in Fargo. A newly added 04/28 date at Total Mortgage Arena in Bridgeport, Connecticut has already sold out.
Behind the kit on all of it is Ilan Rubin — the former Nine Inch Nails drummer who joined Foo Fighters earlier in 2025, replacing Josh Freese. Rubin made his live debut with the band on 09/13/2025 at the Fremont Theater in San Luis Obispo, a surprise all-ages show for 900 people. Grohl introduced him from the stage that night with characteristic restraint: “Ladies and gentlemen, will you please welcome… The most badass motherfucker, Ilan Rubin, is playing drums in the Foo Fighters right now. It’s official. You can stamp the passport.”
Foo Fighters are Dave Grohl, Nate Mendel, Chris Shiflett, Pat Smear, Rami Jaffee and Ilan Rubin.
