Dave Grohl directed a zombie-apocalypse music video for Foo Fighters' "Spit Shine," a track from their album Your Favorite Toy. The thing you need to know: his 15-year-old daughter Harper handled casting. This is peak rock-dad energy, except Grohl actually knows how to make a compelling visual. He wrote and directed the whole thing himself, which tracks with his obsession over the years with merging music and filmmaking. The video plunges into horror-movie territory with undead extras and the kind of blood-and-guts aesthetic that seems increasingly natural for a band that's been around long enough to experiment with every tonal register. It's not surprising Foo Fighters went this direction. They've always had a theatrical streak, and Grohl's proven himself capable behind the camera before. What's notable is the intergenerational collaboration, turning what could've been a vanity project into something that actually got Harper's creative input. The band continues leaning into darker, messier material after years of stadium rock predictability. This video feels like proof they're not interested in coasting.
