Foo Fighters

Dave Grohl's post-Nirvana project rode a light-hearted brand of power-punk-pop to superstardom in the 1990s & 2000s.

Biography

While he was drumming with Nirvana, Dave Grohl was recording original songs at home that never received public release. Those tapes would become the foundation of Foo Fighters, the band he formed in 1995 after the death of Kurt Cobain. Like Nirvana, Foo Fighters melded loud, heavy guitars with pretty melodies, and mixed punk sensibilities with a sharp sense of pop songwriting. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
