On July 4th, 1995, Foo Fighters released their self-titled debut album and this July 4th marks the record's 25th anniversary.

Foo Fighters first full-length album was the result of a week-long studio session between Dave Grohl and musician/producer Barrett Jones not long after the death of Grohl's Nirvana bandmate Kurt Cobain. The Platinum-certified record featured twelve songs, including "This Is A Call," "I'll Stick Around," "For All The Cows" and "Big Me."

A rep for the band says of the milestone:

"It was exactly 25 years ago that a nondescript white label advance cassette recorded by Dave Grohl playing every instrument and singing every word morphed into the eponymous major label debut of the last great American stadium rock band: Foo Fighters."

They added, "In the years since the July 4, 1995 release of that platinum debut album, its songs have raised millions of voices in song the world over."
