"But Here We Are" is the eleventh studio album by Foo Fighters, released on June 2, 2023. It is their first album following the death of longtime drummer Taylor Hawkins, with frontman Dave Grohl performing all drum parts. Dedicated to Hawkins and Grohl’s mother, Virginia, the album marks a deeply personal and emotional chapter for the band. Produced by Greg Kurstin and the Foo Fighters, the record was described as raw, honest, and cathartic, reflecting on grief and healing. Five singles preceded the release, including “Rescued” and “Under You,” and a world tour followed, with Josh Freese announced as the new drummer. Critics widely praised the album for its vulnerability and powerful songwriting, earning an 86/100 score on Metacritic and being hailed as one of the band’s strongest works.
