2016 Grammy Nominee!
180 Gram Vinyl Pressed at Pallas in Germany! 8 Songs recorded in 8 Cities for their 8th studio album!
Guest Artists include Joe Walsh, Gary Clark Jr., Benjamin Gibbard, Zac Brown and more!
Note: Ten different album covers will be distributed at random - we have no control over which covers we receive.
The Foo Fighters celebrate their 20th anniversary with Sonic Highways. The group took an eight city recording odyssey to produce this 8th studio album. Cities include Chicago, Austin, Nashville, Los Angeles, Seattle, New Orleans, Washington D.C., and New York. The band based themselves at a legendary recording studio integral to the unique history and character of each location.
One song was recorded in each city, and every track features local legends. Even the lyrics were developed in an experimental, unprecedented way: Grohl held off on writing them until the last day of each session, letting himself be inspired by the experiences, interviews and personalities that became part of the process.
Sonic Highways is, in Grohl's words, "a love letter to the history of American music."
