Foo Fighters

Foo Fighters’ 12^th studio album, Your Favorite Toy, will be coming in April. It was the band’s first release with drummer Ilan Rubin. Adding to today’s announcement, the band released.

“‘Your Favorite Toy’ really was the key that unlocked the tone and energetic direction of the new album,” explained Dave Grohl. “We stumbled upon it after experimenting with different sounds and dynamics for over a year, and the day it took shape I knew that we had to follow its lead. It was the fuse to the powder keg of songs we wound up recording for this record. It feels new.”

U2

U2, ahead of their full length album coming at the end of the year, has released a six-song EP. The EP is described as “an immediate response to current events and inspired by the many extraordinary and courageous people fighting on the frontlines of freedom.”

Bono added this: “These EP tracks couldn’t wait; these songs were impatient to be out in the world,” he said. “They are songs of defiance and dismay, of lamentation.”

The EP also contains a one-time version of U2’s zine Propaganda.
