A few weeks ago we brought you news that Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl is hard at work on the band’s new album as well as a new series for HBO, and now we have hard evidence. “Sonic Highways” will center on Dave’s journeys around the world as he explores and utilizes the best recording studios in existence.
Grohl biographer Paul Brannigan explains: “Studios featured in the series will include Nirvana/Page & Plant producer Steve Albini’s Electrical Audio studio in Chicago, Don Zientara’s Inner Ear studios in Washington DC – where Fugazi, Henry Rollins’ first band S.O.A. and Grohl’s pre-Nirvana punk rock band Scream recorded – and Rancho De La Luna studios in California, a site at which Queens Of The Stone Age, Arctic Monkeys and Mark Lanegan, among others, have laid songs to tape. The singer has also visited studios in New York, Seattle and Nashville.”
Check out the first promo clip below!
Fans can expect appearances from Kiss frontman Paul Stanley, Heart’s Nancy Wilson, Joe Walsh from The Eagles and Fugazi legend/Dischord Records chief Ian MacKaye. Meanwhile, the new Foo Fighters album will see the light this November. There may only be 8 songs, but Grohl is promising to make it the Foos’ most cinematic record yet.
