Foo Fighters seem to usually end up being the topic of conversation, always making "something from nothing" (get it?), but today (Oct. 29), the band launched a mysterious countdown clock on their website that will strike 00:00:00:00 at midnight on Nov. 23.
Various theories are floating around in regards to what exactly will be announced next month. Some speculate the band will release a second season of their 2014 HBO mini docu-series Sonic Highways, which earned them two Emmy awards. During a recent video interview with NME, frontman Dave Grohl confirmed that there would indeed be a new season of the show, with filming expected to take place in the U.S. as well as abroad.
This is the most likely theory since the band's logo is housed inside of a highway road sign on the website. Conspiracy theorists have noted the odd porcelain dog in the background and some very muffled chatter being looped as the audio. Listeners can't quite make out what is being said, but if you can decode the message, if there even is a message, comment below!
Another theory deducts that the band will announce a brand new studio album -- this is technically the same theory, since the band's innaugural HBO series was centered around an album of its same name.
While recently performing in Austin, TX, Grohl announced to the crowd that he and the band had recorded five new songs locally, including one with Ben Kweller (who performed with them on stage that night).
Check out Foo Fighters' official music video for Sonic Highways single "Something From Nothing," which premiered during the first season of the HBO series.
Grohl and the Foos, who also include members Pat Smear, Taylor Hawkins and Nate Mendel, will continue their tour in support of the latest record, with upcoming dates scheduled in Europe. Tickets are still available via SeatGeek.
