You know what you’re going to get with Foo Fighters, for better or worse. While Dave Grohl’s radio rock has dominated airwaves since their debut album, he still tries to bring in the hardcore and metal that he grew up listening to and playing before hitting the big time with Nirvana. He has lofty goals for Concrete and Gold, the band’s just-announced ninth album that will be coming out on September 15th on Roswell/RCA:

“I wanted it to be the biggest sounding Foo Fighters record ever. To make a gigantic rock record but with Greg Kurstin’s sense of melody and arrangement… Motorhead’s version of Sgt. Pepper… or something like that.”

Time will tell if he captured that, but by working with pop producer Greg Kurstin (Sia, Pink), it’ll certainly sound different than previous albums. It was a late night drive that Grohl heard “Again and Again” by Krustin’s indie-pop band The Bird & The Bee and put the producer on his radar. “Run” is already a monster hit, and we’ve heard a few more songs. Here’s the track listing for the album, which you can order here: 

1. T-Shirt
2. Run
3. Make It Right
4. The Sky Is A Neighborhood
5. La Dee Da
6. Dirty Water
7. Arrows
8. Happy Ever After (Zero Hour)
9. Sunday Rain
10. The Line
11. Concrete and Gold

Also, in addition to a tour, the band will be throwing their very first festival. October 7 will find the band headlining CAL JAM 17 at Glen Helen Regional Park in San Bernardino, CA. He actually snuck some metal onto the bill, as The Obsessed and Fireball Ministry willl be joining the likes of Queens of the Stone Age, Cage the Elephant, Royal Blood, Bob Mould, Babes in Toyland and more.
