Foo Fighters Release New Zombie Outbreak Music Video for “Spit Shine”

On April 30, Foo Fighters released a new music video written and directed by Dave Grohl himself. Grohl’s daughter, Harper, handled the casting for the new video. On April 24, the group released their twelfth studio album, Your Favorite Toy. It’s the first to feature former Nine Inch Nails drummer, Ilan Rubin. The new album has peaked at No. 23 on the Billboard 200, while hitting No. 1 on the UK Rock & Metal Albums chart. It also reached No. 1 on the Mainstream Rock Airplay chart. Foo Fighters released a music video for the album track “Spit Shine.” The song wasn’t a single, but made for the perfect fit to Grohl’s music video idea.

In the new music video, the band is seen wearing all white, along with a crowd in white. Throughout the video, the crowd slowly turns into zombies from an outbreak. The band continues to play, blood-soaked. The track is raw, heavy, and is similar to the group’s early sound in the 1990s. The zombie outbreak concept aligns with Grohl’s love of horror and gore themes. In 2022, Grohl wrote and starred alongside the band in a comedy horror film titled Studio 666. This new video feels like a continuation of what Grohl set forth with the film. Foo Fighters are known for interesting music videos, such as “My Hero,” showing the band performing in the middle of a house fire, “Learn To Fly,” which saw the band dressed as a flight crew and featured Tenacious D, and “Run,” featuring the band as elderly versions of themselves in a nursing home.
