Download New Five-Track Foo Fighters EP, ‘Saint Cecilia’, For Free Right Now
In light of the recent horrible terrorist attacks in Paris that we’re certain you’ve heard about by now, the Foo Fighters, whom we’re also certain you’ve heard about by now, have decided to release a free EP, titled Saint Cecilia, to help benefit the victims of the attacks. The five-track EP, released at midnight today, November 23rd, is made up of disparate ideas that the band has had over the years that hadn’t been fully fleshed out into songs. The EP comes just a year after their ambitious multi-media project and album Sonic Highways.
Though the EP is available for free download (and for purchase on vinyl, and is streaming on every major streaming service available), the band strongly encourages that your listening of the EP is followed by a direct donation to the victims of the Paris attacks. All information can be found at this location. You can read a letter/statement Dave Grohl released regarding the EP and attacks below.
“Tonight, Let me begin with a preface to a letter I wrote a few weeks ago from my hotel room in Berlin while on our final tour for this album. I felt the need to write this foreword in light of the heartbreaking tragedies of Nov. 13th, as this project has now taken on an entirely different tone. As has everything, it seems…
The Saint Cecilia EP was put into motion back in October of this year as a celebration of life and music. The concept being that, as our world tour drew to a close this week, we wanted to share our love of both with you in return for everything you have given us.
Now, there is a new, hopeful intention that, even in the smallest way, perhaps these songs can bring a little light into this sometimes dark world. To remind us that music is life, and that hope and healing go hand in hand with song. That much can never be taken away.
To all who were affected by the atrocities in Paris, loved ones and friends, our hearts go out to you and your families. We will return and celebrate life and love with you once again someday with our music. As it should be done.
Dave Grohl”
