Foo Fighters Release 12th Album 'Your Favorite Toy'
Foo Fighters have released their 12th album, 'Your Favorite Toy', on April 24, 2026. The 10-track, 36-minute record marks a return to the band's punk and grunge roots, featuring pessimistic lyrics, distorted guitars, and a sense of urgency. Frontman Dave Grohl, approaching 60, continues to champion the grunge sound more than 30 years after Nirvana's peak. The album was recorded in Grohl's home studio, eschewing high-end facilities for spontaneity. It follows difficult years for the band: the 2022 death of drummer Taylor Hawkins and a 2025 infidelity scandal involving Grohl. Tracks like 'Spit Shine' and 'Asking for a Friend' evoke a 1990s aesthetic, while 'Unconditional' and 'Child Actor' reflect personal struggles. The album also features the former drummer of Nine Inch Nails.
