Sometimes, when you least expect it, an A-list rock star returns to his teenaged roots and works on something you’d never imagine from someone capable of selling out arenas. Dave Grohl, fresh off the Foo Fighters’ collaboration-heavy Sonic Highways album, teamed with Lamb of God vocalist Randy Blythe and the punk/metal supergroup Teenage Time Killers for a blistering track called “Hung Out to Dry.”

And let us repeat: those are Blythe’s growls, not Grohl’s, on the two-minute burner. Dave played bass on “Hung Out to Dry,” making it a throwback to his non-frontman roles as Nirvana’s drummer and, more recently, drumming for Queens of the Stone Age.

Teenage Time Killers’ core members are Corrosion of Conformity drummer Reed Mullin, My Ruin and Birds of Satan multi-instrumentalist Mick Murphy, and producer John “Lou” Lousteau. For the band’s cheekily-titled debut album Greatest Hits Vol. 1 (due July 31), they enlisted a bevy of collaborators aside from Grohl and Blythe. The 20-track album also includes the Dead Kennedys’ Jello Biafra, Pat Smear of the Germs and Foo Fighters, Alkaline Trio’s Matt Skiba, Bad Religion and Minor Threat guitarist Brian Baker, and many others.

The album was recorded at Grohl’s 606 Studios in Northridge, California.
