Produced by Gil Norton, ‘The Colour And The Shape’ was released through Capitol Records and the group’s own Roswell Records on May 20, 1997. The record is the debut of the Foo Fighters as a group, as the band’s previous record, ‘Foo Fighters’ (1995), was primarily recorded by frontman Dave Grohl and friend Barrett Jones as a demo.

Main singles “Monkey Wrench,” “Everlong” and “My Hero” peaked within the top ten on United States rock radio, and the album charted at number three in the United Kingdom.
