Foo Fighters

Unbeknownst to most Nirvana fans, drummer David Grohl was also a singer/guitarist/songwriter who wrote numerous songs on his own during his tenure with the band. After Kurt Cobain's death in 1994, Grohl decided to head out on his own and formed the Foo Fighters, where he assumed frontman duties. Virtually an instant success, the Foos reflected Grohl's former band's melodic-punk-pop, though with a somewhat lighter attitude.
