The Foo Fighters are officially releasing the newest single from their upcoming album "Wasting Light" today via their web site and Facebook page.
Titled "Rope," the song is the second track off of "Wasting Light" to be released, and the first official single.
It will be available for purchase online beginning March 1st as both a digital single and a free download with an iTunes pre-order of the new album.
Releasing April 12th, "Wasting Light" was recorded entirely on analog equipment in Dave Grohl’s garage in San Fernando Valley, California. The resultant raw sound is something rarely heard in the age of powerful sound processing software and computer manipulation of studio recordings.
The Foo Fighters’ website claims that the "no computers/no software back to basics approach has resulted in arguably the strongest and most cohesive effort of [their]15-year-plus career."
"The Pretender," the first single off the band’s previous album, was released in mid-2007 and remained at number one on Billboard’s Modern Rock chart for a record 18 weeks. "The Pretender" also won the Foo Fighters a Grammy award for Best Hard Rock Performance, and was nominated for Record of the Year and Best Rock Song.

Green Day’s upcoming live album, "Awesome As F--k," is due March 22.
The 2-disc set, which includes a CD plus bonus DVD, features performances captured during the band’s 2009-2010 World Tour in support of their album, "21st Century Breakdown."
This week, Green Day released the first video from the project - "Cigarettes & Valentines" – which was the title track from an unreleased album by the band.
What should have been the follow-up to 2000’s "Warning," was reportedly stolen from the studio and the master tapes were gone.
Rather than re-record the project, Green Day started over from scratch, and went on to create the legendary "American Idiot" set in 2004.
Check out the new video below.
Last month, the band released a short version of a trailer for the live album; this week, a new, longer version has surfaced.

Gwen Stefani has revealed that No Doubt's new album may take longer than expected.
The band are currently working on the follow-up to 2001's "Rock Steady", which as yet has no official release date.
"We've been doing a record all year; ten songs have been recorded," Stefani told the Wall Street Journal.
She added: "When this [new collection for fashion label L.A.M.B.] is done I'll probably write a few more songs. I don't know when it'll come out, but you never know what can happen."
"My band takes a weird process as well. It takes so long. And all of them just had babies, so it'll be a while."
Meanwhile, No Doubt announced they are planning to embark on a huge world tour in support of the new album.
