Label GB

The Foo Fighters are an alternative rock band from Seattle, Washington, USA. They were formed in 1994 by Dave Grohl as a one-man-band and have since become one of the most influential rock bands of their generation.

The current members of the Foo Fighters include Dave Grohl on vocals and rhythm guitar, Nate Mendel on bass, Pat Smear on rhythm guitar (with breaks between 1995-1997 and 2006-), Chris Shifflett on lead guitar and backing vocals, Rami Jaffee on keyboards (since 2017), and Josh Freese on drums (since 2023).

Over the years, the band has had several former members including William Goldsmith on drums (1995-1997), Franz Stahl on lead guitar and backing vocals (1997-1999), and Taylor Hawkins who sadly passed away in 2022 after serving as the drummer and providing backing vocals for the band from 1997 to 2022.

RCA is a multinational record label that has been used worldwide and is currently owned by Sony Music Entertainment. The name RCA originally referred to the Radio Corporation of America, a US electronic and communications company formed in 1919. In 1929, RCA acquired the Victor Talking Machine Co., which had released records on the Victor and Victrola labels. The record division became known as RCA Victor until late 1968 when it became RCA Records.

In 1985, RCA Records became part of RCA/Ariola International. At the end of that year, General Electric purchased the RCA Corporation. In 1986, GE sold the remainder of RCA Records to Bertelsmann (Ariola's owner) and formed the Bertelsmann Music Group (BMG). Since then, RCA Records has switched owners twice and is currently owned by Sony Music Entertainment.

On September 26, 2011, Sony Music Entertainment reorganized the RCA Records group into its own label banner. This merger brought artists from Jive, Arista, LaFace, and J Records under the umbrella of RCA. Additionally, reissues from these imprints will be handled by RCA as well.

Back In Stock

Released the year after Kurt Cobain's suicide, Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl stepped up to the plate with his debut (commercial) release as a frontman in 1995. 

Foo Fighters succeed in creating a powerful heavy rock album that's neither noisy nor stale is a measured accomplishment in its own right. 

So bask in the familiar neo-garage punk (a.k.a. grunge) of 'I'll Stick Around', 'Oh, George', and 'Good Grief'. You might even be surprised by Grohl's own pop chops on the mellow Byrds-like folk rock 'Big Me' and catchy rave-up 'This Is A Call'. 

The Foo Fighters prove that even if you can't go home again, it sure is comfortable hanging out next door.
