Taylor Hawkins and the Coattail Riders is a band founded by Taylor Hawkins, current drummer for the Foo Fighters. Hawkins is the drummer and vocalist for the trio. Other band members include Chris Chaney (bass) and Gannin Arnold (guitar) and Nate Wood (guitar).

In 2006 the band released their debut self-titled album Taylor Hawkins and the Coattail Riders. It featured 11 songs which were recorded by the band during 2004, before Foo Fighters started recording In Your Honor. Their first official video clip was of the first song off the album, titled "Louise" witch is also todays tune. Taylor Hawkins have a new album in the pipeline, named Red Light Fever is to be released on April 19. It features some nice set up of supporting cast, which would eventually come to include Elliot Easton of the Cars, Brian May and Roger Taylor of Queen, and last but by no means least, Hawkins' bandmate Dave Grohl. The album was recorded at Foo Fighters' Studio 606 in California. It's a album that im looking forward to hear as the first one is very interesting rock album and the small sound clips that they have released on their website sounds promising.
