Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters is at it again. (Does he ever sleep?) This time he has recorded a song with his daughter Violet. The song is a cover the X song “Nausea” which originally appeared on the legendary punk rock band’s 1980 album Los Angeles. The song is featured in his new documentary What Drives Us which will start streaming via Amazon Prime’s The Coda Collection on April 30th.
What Drives US is an homage to the moment in every musician’s life when their commitment is tested and their desire to play music for others becomes an almost irrational act of blind faith. The first step to prove to yourself and the world that you belong is to load up your instruments, your talent and your courage, and get in the van to take your music to the world — a true rock and roll rite of passage.
“This film is my love letter to every musician that has ever jumped in an old van with their friends and left it all behind for the simple reward of playing music. What started as a project to pull back the curtain on the DIY logistics of stuffing all of your friends and equipment into a small space for months on end eventually turned into an exploration of “why?”
