Foo Fighters bassist Nate Mendel is working on a solo album.

Mendel, plans to launch his solo career while juggling his duties with Dave Grohl and his fellow Foo Fighters bandmates, as the group is due to release its new record, Sonic Highways, next month (Nov14).

He tells British newspaper The Sun, "I don't even know how I'm going to get through the next five months... My record comes out in March and Foo Fighters are extremely busy right now. I'll come from the Foos and get right on mine. It's going to be 24 hours a day."
