The story begins when Foo Fighters Dave Grohl , formerly of Scream , is hired to do the work in the battery by then unknown group of grunge Nirvana . Chance willed that Grohl’s first album in such training, Nevermind , was a huge success in the field of ” mainstream “, thanks to the band which he clinched the top spot on the charts worldwide. This situation began to Kurt Cobain , leader of the group, in cases of depression and substance abuse, feeling annoyed by its position as media star, which would end with his death in April 1994. During the time the former member of Nirvana, Dave wrote several songs on their own that did not seem at all according to the sound of that band. For this reason not all of them showed his companions, and decided to record a demo on their own under the pseudonym Late! , naming the album Pocketwatch . The edition of this demo was made in just one hundred cassettes Grohl distributed only among his friends and with no pretense of editing commercially.

After the death of Kurt Cobain and disappearance of Nirvana, Grohl decided to pursue his musical career. Returned to the studio to record self a few other songs that I already wrote, this time under the name Foo Fighters because Grohl’s penchant for the paranormal. He recorded all instruments on all songs, except for a guitar accompaniment courtesy of his friend Greg Dulli (guitar Afghan Whigs ). also released this recording on tape and distributed it among his friends. However, on this occasion received rave reviews and even one of the songs, This is a Call, began to have angelina rotation on the radio, why it decided to formalize what until now was only a project and recruited other musicians to officially form a band, also creating his own record label: Roswell Records , a subsidiary of Capitol Records.
