The guitar rings, drenched with feedback, then the drums kick in and a glorious cavalcade is dancing around the room. A revitalising way to begin the week. Foo Fighters have released their album to stream online, pumped full of freefalling melodies and memorable riffs, its distinctive material with added metal accents, nirvana influences and primal rock drawls. It makes me want to stomp around in some muddy puddles. The gigantic sing-along chorus’ are infectious, ‘Back and Forth’ especially. Featuring Dave Grohl howling about sex, it will have the ladies on their knees. But apart from the seductive, it contains innovative and classic qualities. Produced in Dave Grohl’s garage, with no fancy software, ‘Wasting Light’ is fuelled with testosterone and class. They have successfully taught me to worship the guitar and rock ‘n roll all over again. “I never wanna die!"
