There is something special about the anticipation of a new Foo Fighters record. It’s more than just music; it’s a milestone in rock history. Here at The Poet’s Vault, we are thrilled to announce that pre-orders are officially live for the band’s highly anticipated 12th studio album, Your Favorite Toy, arriving April 24, 2026.
Why This Release is a Must-Have
For the true collectors and audiophiles in Charlotte, we’ve secured the Indie Exclusive Red Opaque Vinyl edition. This isn’t just a standard press; it’s a beautiful, vibrant red disc that comes housed in a gatefold jacket featuring an exclusive orange-stripe cover variant.
What’s inside the sleeve:
Limited Edition Red Opaque Vinyl: A stunning visual for your turntable.
Exclusive 24×24 Poster: High-quality art to anchor your music room wall.
Collectible Obi Band: A nod to classic import-style packaging that collectors crave.
A New Era for the Foos
Your Favorite Toy marks a significant moment for Dave Grohl and company. It is the first studio album to feature drummer Ilan Rubin (Nine Inch Nails, Angels & Airwaves) behind the kit. Recorded at the legendary Studio 606 and Grohl’s own home studio, the album has been described by the band as a return to a “louder, more energetic” sound.
If you’ve heard the lead singles like the gritty title track “Your Favorite Toy” or the anthemic “Caught in the Echo,” you know the band is operating at a high-octane frequency. Frontman Dave Grohl noted that this title track was the “fuse to the powder keg” that unlocked the direction for the entire 10-track record.
