It’s becoming more and more apparent that Dave Grohl will never stop being a bro. Whether he’s inviting a dude onstage to chug a beer on his birthday or having his orthopedic surgeon sing Seven Nation Army with the Food Fighters at Fenway Park, Grohl has been a pioneer of bro self-promotion for years.
His latest good-spirited move came when he heard about a high school garage band from Cornwall, England was recently asked by their town council to stop practicing in their garage, for noise reasons.
The band, coined Black Leaves of Envy, was asked by the town council of Cornwall to keep the noise level between 30 to 40 decibels, even though there were no noise complaints from neighbors and the closest house was reportedly “an farmer’s field away.” 30 to 40 decibels is roughly the sound of a bird call or me and your mom having sex. Just kidding bro. She’s much louder.
The band wrote a letter to Dave Grohl pleading with him to help them overturn the noise ban. Grohl responded with a detailed letter to the town council of Cornwall. Check it out below.

Grohl went even further and listed several tips for soundproofing practice space on the Foo Fighters’ website.
The town of Cornwall responded to Grohl’s plea, indicating that they would put a committee together to decide a reasonable solution.
“We are always willing to offer advice regarding noise control,” a spokesman for the council said. “The law regarding statutory nuisance is based on what is reasonable but it may be that certain activities are not appropriate for the area in which they occur, or that restrictions or compromises can be agreed. We will continue to work with all parties involved in order to try to informally resolve any issues.”
Dave BROhl strikes again.
Now, here’s an unrelated but totally related beer chug:
