But Here We Are is the follow-up to 2021's Medicine At Midnight and marks the first new material from Grohl and the band since the death of drummer Taylor Hawkins in March 2022.

In a statement, the band said: "A brutally honest and emotionally raw response to everything Foo Fighters endured over the last year, But Here We Are is a testament to the healing powers of music, friendship and family."

The statement goes on: "But Here We Are is the sound of brothers finding refuge in the music that brought them together in the first place 28 years ago, a process that was as therapeutic as it was about a continuation of life."

But Here We Are is available to pre-order via FooFighters.com, with Under You available to download today (17th May).
