It’s the band’s first recording since new drummer Ilan Rubin joined the lineup<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n\tA week after the Foo Fighters<\/a> teased disparate snippets of a new song on their website<\/a>, the band has united them into \u201cYour Favorite Toy,\u201d a three-minute hard rocker that\u2019s also the title track of their upcoming 12th album. \u201cGet back, hear that boy?\u201d Grohl sings over a driving guitar line. \u201cSomeone threw away your favorite toy for good.\u201d The song, which will officially come out with the rest of the 10-track album on April 24, is the sort of taut, electrifying blend of rock-for-the-sake-of-rock, Seventies-era glitter metal and power pop that Dave Grohl<\/a> and company have perfected in recent decades.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201c\u2018Your Favorite Toy\u2019 really was the key that unlocked the tone and energetic direction of the new album,\u201d Grohl said in a statement. \u201cWe 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
