Ever heard of the Foo Fighters? That’s a joke of course because you obviously have. They’re regarded as likely the biggest contemporary rock band on the planet. Fronted by former Nirvana drummer-turned-lead singer Dave Grohl (American Songwriter’s current magazine cover star, by the way), the group has been tearing the roof off venues since it formed in 1994.
But that doesn’t mean the Foo Fighters were always playing giant stadiums. No, when the band got together in the mid-โ90s after Nirvana broke up post-Kurt Cobain suicide, it was a fledgling project by a relative untested frontman. But as soon as the group’s early singlesโ”My Hero” and “Everlong”โhit the airwaves, it was a wrap.
