"'Your Favorite Toy' really was the key that unlocked the tone and energetic direction of the new album," Dave says. "We stumbled upon it after experimenting with different sounds and dynamics for over a year, and the day it took shape I knew that we had to follow its lead. It was the fuse to the powder keg of songs we wound up recording for this record. It feels new."
"They also just released the title track, a song that finds the Foo Fighters in fuzzed-out garage rock territory, with Dave Grohl leaning into his love of stuff like The Stooges and The Sonics. It's pretty undeniably a ripper, and you can check it out below. The album also features last year's grungy "Asking For A Friend.""
"It was "recorded at home," co-produced by Foo Fighters and Oliver Roman, engineered by Oliver Roman, and mixed by Mark "Spike" Stent."
Foo Fighters will release a new album titled Your Favorite Toy on April 24 via Roswell/RCA. The album is the band's first full-length since 2023's But Here We Are and the first with Ilan Rubin as the new drummer. Recording took place at home, with the band co-producing alongside Oliver Roman; Roman also engineered while Mark "Spike" Stent handled mixing. The title track embraces fuzzed-out garage rock and follows last year's single "Asking For A Friend." The lineup features Dave Grohl, Nate Mendel, Chris Shiflett, Pat Smear, Rami Jaffee, and Ilan Rubin. A 2026 tour and festival dates will support the release.
