Foo Fighters Zip -

The band marked their return in 2023 with But Here We Are , an album that processed their grief.

Following the departure of Josh Freese after just one tour in 2025, former Nine Inch Nails sticksman Ilan Rubin has joined the band, making his debut on this album.

The album is described as a "high-energy return," featuring punchy, fast, and live-recorded tracks without a click track, reflecting a "back-to-basics" approach reminiscent of intimate garage recordings.

The band endured a tragic 2022 following the death of drummer Taylor Hawkins, leading to the cancellation of all scheduled tour dates, according to KCRA and WDSU .

Moving away from the grief-heavy focus of their 2023 album But Here We Are , this project is described as a "purge in the darkness" and a return to having fun, according to reports in late April 2026. Recent History (2022–2025)
