Monthly Mix: October 2014

Foo Fighters cruise with Sonic Highways

     As the final leaves fall off the trees and Halloween comes to an end, another October is in the books. Just like the witch's brew, the pot of brand new music still burns strong.
     Seattle mega-rockers Foo Fighters are back in full effect with their new album Sonic Highways [November 10, via RCA].  The band recorded the eight songs in eight different cities, with a plethora of A-list guests contributing on the tracks. Frontman Dave Grohl describes it as being much bigger and including more jams, but still sounding like the Foo Fighters. A perfect example of this is the first single "Something From Nothing" which features sharp guitar riffs, vintage Grohl lyrics, and even a funk jam. The band's tour will hit Voodoo Festival and then off to Africa and South America.
     The October playlist is packed with new music and goes great with the last Kit-Kat bar.
