Global rock superstars Foo Fighters’ lead axe man Chris Shiflett returns to the solo spotlight with new single and video, Black Top White Lines, out now via Snakefarm in the UK.
Produced by Jaren Johnston from The Cadillac Three, and co-penned with Johnston (a writer with multiple No. 1 country hits to his name) and Brothers Osborne guitarist, John Osborne, Black Top White Lines is a dark tale of justice that moves quickly into the fast lane with no intention of slowing down; it’s a heady taste of what can be found on Shiflett’s brand new studio album, set to be released later in 2023 – the first solo release from the long-time Foo Fighters member since 2019’s Hard Lessons.
Check out the David Provan-directed video for Black Top White Lines below:
In support of the single, the guitarist announced a run of UK and Ireland headline dates for March 2023 including his largest solo London stop at Kings Cross’s Scala venue, with all shows already sold out.
Chris Shiflett is a punk veteran, a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, an Americana and rock songwriter and a modern-day guitar hero. For more than 25 years, the Santa Barbara, California native has blurred the lines between genre and generation, balancing his full-band projects with a thriving solo career.
Named “Americana’s biggest rockstar” by Rolling Stone magazine, Shiflett has played a crucial role in shaping the sound and scope of modern-day rock music as a longtime member of the Foo Fighters. He’s also an alum of California-based punk rock bands No Use For A Name and Me First And The Gimme Gimmes. Shiflett’s latest releases refocus his attention on a mix of country twang and rock & roll bang, showcasing the full range of his musical abilities.
