Foo Fighters emerged as a band during the mid 1990’s. They were originally formed by the surviving members of Nirvana. The drummer of this group, Dave Grohl became the front man for Foo Fighters. They were first based in Seattle, which was where the grunge era had started.
Foo Fighters had a much friendlier and upbeat sound than Nirvana. Their lyrics were often comical and fun in nature. However, they could still be contemplative and serious when needed. The group were noted for their nice demeanour during interviews and performances.
As the years went by the style of the band became much heavier. Today it is more akin to thrash metal. This ended up being a profitable decision as their newer band work has consistently sold well. This shift first started with their album One By One in 2002.
