Foo Fighters have been in the studio to record their 8th album, due to release in the fall, to which they are recording a documentary which will be released on HBO.
However instead of having it as one massive documentary this will be an eight part series, in which they show the journey across 8 US cities to record the album.
Front-man Dave Grohl, shows us that he is once again multi-talented, as he is the one directing the whole thing.
Chicago, Austin, Nashville, Los Angeles, Seattle, New Orleans, Washington, DC and New York. Within these eight cities, FF delve in to the music roots and culture heritage, whilst they record songs in the most legendary studio of that state.
If that doesn't make things any more unique, they're recording one song per city and too add to the excitement and sheer fact that they have legends of the local music scene sitting in and listening to them as they record the new album.
Grohl, left the lyrics to the last possible moment, adding to the uniqueness of the album as he wanted to ensure that he drew on the cities inspiration as much as he could, his inspiration came in the form the experiences and those that he talked to throughout the album.
The series is to be released on the eve of the bands 20th anniversary
2014 is said to be a big year with a lot of musicians releasing long awaited albums, it's fair to say that the music scene has been on edge for some of these albums.
On April 19th Green Day is set to release their first album, Demolicious, since they released the trio named ¡Uno! ¡Dos! ¡Tré! in 2012.
April 19th is also record store day which seems fitting as they are releasing the album on a variety of different formats such as double vinyl, cassette tap and of course a CD. The album will consist of eighteen unreleased tracks that failed to make it to the trio in 2012. It also includes an acoustic song called 'Stay The Night'.
According to Mike Dirnt, who said on his instagram, that the album is 'how ¡Uno!, ¡Dos! and ¡Tré! would have sounded if we were still on Lookout Records.'
Overall it is looks like it's taking Green Day back to their previous sound, which may please those who weren't that impressed with the change of sound in 2012.
On April 22nd, Neon Trees are releasing their third studio album Pop Psychology, with the single Sleeping With A Friend released in January earlier this year, the tone has been set for yet another great album from the band hailing from Utah, the second single, I Love You(But Hate Your Friends) was released, a lot closer to the album release, in March of this year. The album contains songs such as Voices In The Hall and Teenager in Love.
Miss May I are all ready to release their fourth studio album, Rise Of The Lion on the 25th Of April.Vocalist Levi Benton recently said in an interview that the new album is very 'fan based'. He also stated that 'All the lyrics are letters back from letters we’ve gotten from fans and haven’t been able to write back',
which suggests that this album is going to have an extremely personal touch.
The album include songs such as; Heroes With No Names, and the two singles Gone and Echos.
Overall late April is set to be a good time to be a part of the music scene, with all these bands releasing new albums that can only mean one thing...
TOURS.
Many of these bands will be going on tour to promote their new albums, so keep an eye out at and I shall keep you updated with tour dates and ticket prices when I am aware f
