Foo Fighters Launch New Era With ‘Today’s Song’ As Debut Album Turns 30

As Foo Fighters celebrate three decades since the release of their groundbreaking 1995 debut, the rock titans have dropped a powerful new track that looks to the future while honouring the past. Today’s Song, released across digital platforms today, is the band’s first new material since 2023’s critically acclaimed But Here We Are, and it serves as both a love letter to resilience and a bridge to the next chapter in their storied career.

Clocking in at just over three minutes, Today’s Song is classic Foo Fighters: dynamic, uplifting, and emotionally charged. A shimmering melodic intro gives way to thundering guitars and one of Dave Grohl’s most anthemic choruses in years. Lyrically, it’s a rallying cry for growth, survival, and connection amid the inevitable trials of time.

The release arrives with a heartfelt open letter from Grohl, reflecting on the band’s journey, its triumphs and tragedies, and the community that has made it all possible.

“Over the years, we’ve had moments of unbridled joy, and moments of devastating heartbreak,” Grohl writes. “We have mended broken bones and broken hearts. But we have followed this road together, with each other, for each other, no matter what. Because in life, you just can’t go it alone.”

Grohl also paid tribute to past members William Goldsmith, Franz Stahl, and most recent drummer Josh Freese, acknowledging the unique contributions each made to the Foo Fighters legacy. But it is the memory of the late Taylor Hawkins that echoes loudest throughout the letter—and the music.

“Your name is spoken every day, sometimes with tears, sometimes with a smile,” Grohl writes. “Foo Fighters will forever include Taylor Hawkins in every note that we play, until we do finally reach our destination.”

Hawkins’ spirit continues to pulse through the band’s music, and Today’s Song feels particularly steeped in that emotional continuity—a celebration of life and a refusal to stop moving forward, no matter how painful the road behind may be.

The track also marks a symbolic beginning. While But Here We Are was a raw, grief-stricken reflection on loss and survival, Today’s Song feels more like a sunrise—resilient, hopeful, and unapologetically loud. As the Foo Fighters enter their fourth decade, they show no signs of slowing down.

Whether you’re a fan from the days of Big Me and Everlong or one who came onboard more recently, Today’s Song is a reminder of why Foo Fighters remain one of the most beloved rock acts on the planet. It’s not just about the past 30 years—it’s about the ones still to come.

Thirty years into a career built on challenging convention, Garbage arrive at London’s Roundhouse looking anything but content to trade on nostalgia. Despite three decades of touring the capital, tonight marks the band’s first appearance at the iconic Camden venue, and from the moment Shirley Manson, Duke Erikson, Steve Marker, Butch Vig and touring bassist Nicole Fiorentino step onto the stage, they perform with the urgency of a band still determined to push forwards rather than look back.

There are gigs that simply entertain, and then there are gigs that transport you. Lifehouse’s long-overdue return to London at O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire is very much the latter. Eleven years since their last visit to the capital, Jason Wade and longtime guitarist Steve Stout strip everything back for the second of two London acoustic shows—following the previous evening’s performance at nearby Bush Hall—and in doing so remind a packed Shepherd’s Bush Empire exactly why these songs have endured for a quarter of a century.
