Foo Fighters - Songs from the Laundry Room

Songs from the Laundry Room was originally released as part of Record Store Day in 2015.  For those who are unaware, Record Store Day is an annual promotion to celebrate the remaining independent record stores throughout the country.  There are traditionally exclusive releases on vinyl only available in limited quantities.  Songs from the Laundry Room initially had just 4,000 copies made available and included three songs; two were demos  from the Foo Fighters original release and one unreleased song from the same period.  Side A included demos of "Alone + Easy Target" and "Big Me".  Side B had the unreleased song "Empty Handed" which, again, was recorded around the same time.  Later in 2015, the Foo Fighters re-released Songs from the Laundry Room as a traditional release, as well as, making available for digital download.  The re-release include the three original songs and a cover of Kim Wilde's "Kids in America".  The EP is still available as a digital download and worth a listen as it gives insight to the origins of the Foo Fighter sound since Dave Grohl played all the instruments on the first album to their most recent release "Concrete & Gold".
