Medicine at Midnight by Foo Fighters
Medicine at Midnight is an album by Foo Fighters, released in 2021. 5 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 49 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Shame Shame”, on 15 lists with a best position of #6.
Medicine at Midnight, the tenth Foo Fighters album, finally came out through Roswell and RCA on February 5, 2021, after the COVID-19 pandemic bumped it out of 2020. Greg Kurstin produced it with the band, and Dave Grohl's crew, with Nate Mendel, Pat Smear, Chris Shiflett, Rami Jaffee and Taylor Hawkins, swapped some of the usual arena crunch for a looser, hip-shaking groove, dance-rock handclaps and pop gloss riding on top of the riffs.
"Shame Shame" was the first single, a slinky, jittery surprise, followed by "No Son of Mine", "Waiting on a War", "Making a Fire" and "Love Dies Young". It picked up three Grammys: Best Rock Album, Best Rock Song for "Waiting on a War" and Best Rock Performance for "Making a Fire". It is also the last Foo Fighters album with Hawkins behind the kit, before his death in March 2022.
