What band did Dave Grohl form after Nirvana ended in 1994?

Dave Grohl formed Foo Fighters after Nirvana ended in 1994.

Following Kurt Cobain’s death and Nirvana’s dissolution, Grohl recorded a collection of songs largely by himself. He played the instruments and used the recordings as a private creative project before signing with Capitol Records. The first Foo Fighters album appeared in 1995, initially presenting the project as a band rather than centering Grohl’s name.

Foo Fighters later developed into a full touring group with changing members, including guitarist Pat Smear and drummer William Goldsmith. Grohl became the band’s lead singer and guitarist. A common mistake is saying Foo Fighters began as an established group immediately after Nirvana; the debut recordings were primarily Grohl’s solo studio work.
