Foo Fighters have announced their full return and revealed the details of their first new album in three years.

It’s titled ‘Your Favorite Toy’ and will be released on April 24 via Roswell Records/Columbia Records. Recorded at home and co-produced by the band and Oliver Roman, it comprises 10 songs. That tracklisting looks like this:

1. Caught In The Echo
2. Of All People
3. Window
4. Your Favorite Toy
5. If You Only Knew
6. Spit Shine
7. Unconditional
8. Child Actor
9. Amen, Caveman
10. Asking For A Friend

And the artwork looks like this:

The band have also shared the album’s title track, which is a gritty taste of the direction they’re heading right now. Overflowing with reverb and off-kilter rock and roll disco beats, it’s much more of a raw and ready affair than we are used to hearing from the band these days. Throw in some impassioned yelps from Dave Grohl and a whizz-bang of a guitar solo, and you have a song that is sure to fill up plenty of dancefloors when it gets dropped.

Dave had this to say about the song and the effect it had on the rest of the process, explaining, “‘Your Favorite Toy’ really was the key that unlocked the tone and energetic direction of the new album. We 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.”

The band also released the album’s closer, ‘Asking For A Friend’, late last year, so you can also listen to that right now.

The band will be hitting the road for a UK and European tour this Summer. Those dates look a lot like this.

Gold Coast hard rock outfit Hammers have always been a band who put themselves and their music first, even to the point of possible self harm. They have steadfastly refused to follow convention or fall into the mass-produced assembly line of artists currently making up the fringes of major record labels, instead lurking further back […]

The keyboardist talks about his new solo EP, his upcoming farewell to Journey, and the chances of a Steve Perry reunion. Continue reading…

Nashville-based, Southern rockers Parker Barrow are pleased to return to the UK in July 2026 to perform five intimate club shows and a highly anticipated performance at Steelhouse Festival. Tickets for the club shows go on sale at 10am on Thursday February 19^th via Planet Rock,  The Gig Cartel and Parker Barrow.

To celebrate their UK return, Parker Barrow are pleased to release their new single ‘Glass Eyes Cryin,’ taken from their Hold The Mash EP. The single is available on all streaming platforms HERE. Watch the official lyric video HERE. Hold The Mash EP is available on all streaming platforms HERE.

“Glass Eyes Cryin’ was the first song we wrote and recorded for Hold The Mash,” says Parker Barrow’s drummer, Dylan Turner. “We felt it was the perfect song to kickstart a musical shift to what the band has become since our previous record. It’s a laid-back, groovy and features a powerful vocal that tells the story about a sass-filled response to situations of emotional manipulation. With the use of many textures, and gospel elements, the song takes you on the emotional journey that comes with the realization that actions truly speak louder than words.”

“Megan Kane is one of those one-in-a-generation vocalists. She also has amazing energy on stage still able to belt out her vocals whilst bouncing around like a Duracell bunny.” – Get Ready to Rock

“Truckloads of rock ‘n’ roll exuberance, with thrilling rhythms and spectacular Plantish vocals.” – Raw Ramp

Husband-and-wife duo Megan Kane (lead vocals) and Dylan Turner (drums) lead Parker Barrow. The name of the band is a homage to Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow – the infamous American bank robbers during the early 1930’s Great Depression.

A chance encounter in 2019 paired-up Megan and Dylan, who was hunting for a new singer. Two weeks later, they were on the road together, driven by one goal: making their musical dreams a reality.

In 2023 Parker Barrow expanded with the full-time inclusion of guitarist and musical director Alex Bender. Dylan lays down a heavy groove while Megan’s soulful vocals soar high above.  Alex’s inventive riffs and fiery playing pull it all together, creating Parker Barrow’s signature sound.

Parker Barrow’s vintage rock vibe features elements of Rock, Southern Rock, Blues & Soul; but their distinctive sound is unmistakably their own. There’s an impressive mix of old and new influences threaded throughout the band’s repertoire, including The Rolling Stones, Blackberry Smoke, Allman Brothers Band, Aerosmith, Tedeschi Trucks, The Black Crowes and traces of Led Zeppelin.

Parker Barrow’s debut album Jukebox Gypsies was released to glowing reviews from music press and fans globally; and the single “Back To Birmingham” racked up over a million YouTube views.

In 2025 they released the EP Hold The Mash, featuring the singles “Make It,” “Novocaine” and “The Healer.” They toured the UK supporting the Damn Truth later that same year winning over new fans. Planet Rock radio added “Make It” to their main playlist.

Parker Barrow has earned a reputation for their powerhouse live shows featuring spontaneous jams and fresh twists on their songs. In 2025, the band were busy touring the U.S. and, in the summer, they played festivals and headline shows in the U.K. and Spain.

Parker Barrow thrives on connecting with fans, both old and new. They will continue touring across the US and Europe through 2026. Their live shows deliver high energy, swagger, and pure heat—a testament that rock ‘n’ roll is very much alive and well.
