Foo Fighters are planning on releasing their rare ‘Songs From The Laundry Room’ EP as a mainstream release.
‘Songs From The Laundry Room’ is a four track E.P. originally released as a 10-inch vinyl for Record Store Day this year.
The E.P. featuring Foo Fighters cover of Kim Wilde’s ‘Kids In America’ as well as the previously unreleased ‘Empty Handed’.
‘Alone + Easy Target’ was recorded as a demo by Grohl and originally pitched to Nirvana. Nirvana would jam on the song during soundchecks for the 1991 European tour. Grohl re-recorded the song in 1995 for the first Foo Fighters album.
‘Big Me’ was eventually released as a Foo Fighters song and was the fourth single from the debut album. Grohl wrote it when he was a member of Nirvana and, like ‘Alone + Easy Target’ had played it to Kurt Cobain
