Foo Fighters cut "Back & Forth" in Dave Grohl's garage in Encino, California, for Wasting Light, their seventh studio album, released in April 2011, and they did it the hard way: analog gear only, with little room to fix mistakes after the fact. So the band rehearsed for three weeks first, and Butch Vig, Grohl's old partner from Nirvana's Nevermind, co-produced the sessions and adds percussion here.
All five members share the writing credit, and Grohl sings lead and plays guitar alongside Chris Shiflett and Pat Smear, back as an official member for the first time since The Colour and the Shape in 1997, with Nate Mendel on bass and Taylor Hawkins on drums. They were after something heavier and rawer this time. The song also shares its name with Back and Forth, the documentary that helped promote the album.
