Violet Grohl: Proving Herself in Music

0:00It's April 10th, I'm Cory with the story, and this is Music News Today, your AI-powered music briefing. Violet Growl, the 19-year-old daughter of Foo Fighters frontman Dave Growl, is straight up owning the Nepo baby label everyone slaps on her. She's not hiding from her family ties, instead, she's focused on proving herself through her music. Her debut album, Be Sweet To Me, hits Shells on May 29th, marking her big entry into the scene. The album pulls heavy inspiration from late 80s and early 90s alternative rock, nodding to bands like The Pixies, Soundgarden, Cocktoe, Twins, and The Breeders. She recorded it across 2024 and 2025, and just last month dropped her single 595 with a fresh music video. Violet has been in the spotlight since she was 13, hearing the nepotism talk nonstop, but she brushes it off like it's nothing. She's no stranger to the stage either, having joined her dad's Foo Fighters for shows over the years, building real-road experience.

1:01This summer, she's booking major festival slots to show what she's got. Puckelpop and Belgium this August, then reading and leads in the UK, followed by, Shaky Knees in Atlanta, come September. She's throwing down the gauntlets anyone doubting her, catch a live set, listen close, and judge for yourself as she belongs. With that kind of fire, Violet's just getting started in this game.
