The Foo Fighters are the gift that keep on giving.

The rock band just released a brand-new, five-song EP, titled Saint Cecilia, online for free. Fans can download the EP straight from this site, or from iTunes, as well as stream it on Apple Music and Spotify. Hardcore fans can also order the EP on vinyl.

The EP was originally envisioned as a "celebration of life and music," lead singer Dave Grohl wrote, but took an "entirely different tone" after the attacks in Paris, which forced the band to cancel the rest of its world tour.

"Now, there is a new, hopeful intention that, even in the smallest way, perhaps these songs can bring a little light into this sometimes dark world," he continued. "To remind us that music is life, and that hope and healing go hand in hand with song."

The site also has a link for fans who want to donate to the victims of the Paris attacks.
