After their seventh studio album ‘Wasted Light’ in 2011 which won five Grammy’s, David Grohl, frontman of The Foo Fighters had initially proclaimed a break for the band. However, the band has now announced that an eighth studio album will be released in November of this year.

“I’ve pulled up the family tree of American music and exposed its roots to find inspiration for the next Foo Fighters album” Grohl States.

Each track will feature local musical icons and be recorded in a different city from New York, New Orleans, Austin, Chicago and L.A to name a few. Grohl did not write any of the lyrics to the songs until after the sessions, allowing his experience influence the words.

Dave Grohl will also be directing a TV show named “Sonic Highways” which stars the band as they travel amongst the recording studios in North America as they record their new album. The President of HBO Programming says “Dave’s heartfelt passion for this project is contagious and his talent as a musician and filmmaker is undeniable. We are excited to go on this journey with him and the Foo Fighters for this insider’s look at how regional music inspired them to create their own new music.”

The Foo Fighters have come leaps and bounds since Grohl first started off as a one man act after the death of former Nirvana star Kurt Cobain. Now since their formation in 1997, they are still willing to push their music further by expanding to an eighth studio album, and after the success of ‘Wasted Light’ I’m sure we are all looking forward to this coming November.
