While ears are still ringing from the sonic and emotional gut punch that was "Rescued," Foo Fighters have unveiled "Under You," an aggressively melodic punk-tinged earworm sure to join its predecessor in massive summer singalongs on the band's upcoming tour dates.
"Under You" is the second advance offering from the Rock & Roll Hall of Famers' 11th album, But Here We Are, out June 2 on Roswell Records/RCA Records. The new song follows the aforementioned "Rescued"-which has generated raves including "driven by a fresh sense of pathos and urgency" (The New York Times), "Foo Fighters have never sounded more vital" (Consequence)," "one of the Foos' most immediate, emotional songs" (Vulture), "delivers everything fans have come to know and love" (Revolver) and more.

Toronto pop-punkers Growers just released their brand new single "17 Cigarettes," and to celebrate, we asked Matt to tell us about the song. Here is the story:
"17 Cigarettes" was inspired by the struggle of getting older, especially in your late teen years. Transitioning from being a kid, to having a bit more responsibility and independence is tough. Having a moment to contemplate these thoughts over a cigarette break is what the song is about. As you're taking a long drag, maybe you're thinking about all the important choices you have ahead of you - where you might go to school, if you'll find work, and what sort of impact those choices will have on the course of your life. It's hard not to think about potential regrets, and how much you will eventually change as the years pass by. (continue)
