Foo Fighters Announce New Album 'The Essential Foo Fighters'

Foo Fighters on Friday announced plans to release a new greatest hits collection, dubbed The Essential Foo Fighters. The project, which will only exist in physical form, will become available on October 28 via Legacy Recordings, marking the band’s first release since drummer Taylor Hawkins’ passing in March.

The new record, which follows the group’s Greatest Hits album from 2009, will include 19 tracks on CD, with two additional songs (“Breakout” and “Waiting On A War”) arriving on the LP. A toast to Foo Fighters’ unequivocal stamp on music, the career-covering collection features some of the band’s biggest tracks, including two iterations of “Everlong,” as well as “Monkey Wrench,” “All My Life” and “Best of You,” among others.
