There’s an excellent chance that if every music genre was competing as an Olympic team, Dave Grohl would be the one carrying the flag for the rockers. The amount of top-class albums/songs/moments that have Grohl at the centre of them is downright astounding, and with a talented group like the Foo Fighters around him, I don’t think anything they release can ever be downright bad.
Concrete and Gold is a return to form for the veteran group, with more classic tracks to be found, complete with the expected headbanging and sing/shoutalongs we already love. As always, Taylor Hawkins is an absolute beast on the drums, and Nate Mendel and Chris Shiflett drive things along with some guitar mastery.
‘Sky Is A Neighbourhood’ and ‘Arrows’ are standout tracks, which is a tough call to make on an album of this quality. Foo Fighters are back in form, and with a rollicking stadium tour just announced, get yourself out there and see them for some real rock’n’roll.
