A week after the Foo Fighters teased disparate snippets of a new song on their website, the band has united them into “Your Favorite Toy,” a three-minute hard-rocker that’s also the title track of their upcoming 12th album. “Get back, hear that boy?” Grohl sings over a driving guitar line. “Someone threw away your favorite toy for good.” The song, which will officially come out with the rest of the 10-track album on April 24, is the sort of taut, electrifying blend of rock-for-the-sake-of-rock, Seventies-era glitter metal and power pop that Dave Grohl and company have perfected in recent decades.

“‘Your Favorite Toy’ really was the key that unlocked the tone and energetic direction of the new album,” Grohl said in a statement. “We stumbled upon it after experimenting with different sounds and dynamics for over a year, and the day it took shape I knew that we had to follow its lead. It was the fuse to the powder keg of songs we wound up recording for this record. It feels new.”

The band recorded the album, which includes the previously released “Asking for a Friend,” at home with co-producer Oliver Roman. It’s the band’s first recording since new drummer Ilan Rubin joined the lineup.

Your Favorite Toy will arrive two weeks before the group performs at the Welcome to Rockville festival in Daytona Beach, Florida, on May 8. They’ll also play Bottlerock Napa Valley on May 23 before embarking on a run of European dates. The Foos will return to North America for an Aug. 4 gig at Toronto’s Rogers Stadium with gigs running through late September. Queens of the Stone Age and Mannequin Pussy are the support acts for most of the shows.

Your Favorite Toy track list:

1. “Caught in the Echo”
2. “Of All People”
3. “Window”
4. “Your Favorite Toy”
5. “If You Only Knew”
6. “Spit Shine”
7. “Unconditional”
8. “Child Actor”
9. “Amen, Caveman”
10. “Asking for a Friend”

BLOND:ISH

On any given night in Ibiza, the difference between a good set and a memorable one is hard to explain but easy to feel. It’s not just about the tracks or the crowd, it’s about what carries beyond the room. That’s the space BLOND:ISH has been moving towards, whether she’s playing to packed dancefloors, building out her Abracadabra parties, or holding down a residency at Pacha Ibiza.

Her trajectory through electronic music followed a familiar arc at first. Releases across labels like Anjunadeep and Defected Records, a steady global touring circuit, and tracks like “Waves” and “Never Walk Alone” finding their way into sets far beyond her own. But over time, the focus began to shift. The music stayed central, but it stopped being the only thing.

At some point, everyone’s heard a bbno$ song without realising it was him. That’s part of the whole thing. The tone isn’t always easy to pin down, and the way he shows up online doesn’t always explain itself. But behind that is an artist who’s been building for a while. bbno$, short for “baby no money,” had already released projects like Recess and built a touring audience across North America, Europe and Asia before his hit single “Lalala” blew up in 2019 with producer Y2K.

That record changed the scale in a very real way. Daily streams jumped from roughly a few hundred thousand to several million within months, and the song went multi-platinum across multiple markets. But it didn’t change how he worked. He stayed independent, kept releasing at a steady pace, and followed it up with records like “mememe” and good luck have fun, which went on to rack up hundreds of millions of streams of their own.

Before music became a career, Josh Ross thought his future would be on a football field.

Raised in the small Ontario community of Waterdown, near Hamilton, Ross spent years pursuing sports seriously before injuries forced him to reconsider what came next. After briefly playing football in the U.S., he pivoted toward songwriting, eventually relocating to Nashville and emerging as one of the few Canadian country artists to gain meaningful traction inside an overwhelmingly American industry.

Raised in the small farming community of Mildmay, Ontario, Owen Riegling didn’t come up through the industry as much as he worked his way into it. Years spent playing bars and building a local audience laid the groundwork for what followed — from winning the Boots & Hearts Emerging Artist Competition 2022 to the breakout success of his platinum-certified single “Old Dirt Roads” and a run of over 100 shows across Canada. His latest album In The Feeling captures a period of transition shaped by life on the road, his recent marriage, and a growing sense of distance from home.

There’s a clarity to Sofia Camara’s rise. Not the kind built on display, but one that’s come from steadily showing up, first through covers, then through songs that feel far more personal.

She first gained traction online with covers, building an audience before breaking through with her original single “Who Do I Call Now? (Hellbent)”, which went viral across platforms and charted on Spotify’s Viral 50 in multiple countries.
