Foo Fighters release new album

The album features new drummer Ilan Rubin and has been described by critics as a return to the nervy, no-frills punk sound of the band's early days.

Dave Grohl and Pat Smear surprised fans at an album launch party by joining an amateur singer for a rendition of 'Monkey Wrench.' Despite the personal controversy surrounding Grohl, the record has received positive early reviews for its raw energy.

The band is set to embark on a major UK and European tour later this year to support the release.
