Taylor Hawkins(drummer of Foo Fighters) calls himself a 'frustrated songwriter' He obviously loves being in the Foo Fighters, but he also wants to write his own music. That's where this band comes in. Taylor(drums and vocals), along with bassist Chris Chaney(formerly of Jane's Addiction) and guitarist Gannin, formed Taylor Hawkins and the Coattail Riders. Their music is a blend of classic and modern rock, and they just all out rock.
