Violet Grohl — Be Sweet To Me
With Be Sweet To Me, Violet Grohl steps out from a famous family legacy and establishes herself as an artist with a sound all her own. The debut album is a raw, guitar-driven blast of alternative rock that draws heavily from the late ’80s and ’90s underground, channeling the energy of grunge, noise rock, dream pop, and riot-grrrl-adjacent alternative music.
Yes, the daughter of Dave Grohl grew up surrounded by rock music, but Be Sweet To Me avoids feeling like a tribute to her father's career. Instead, Violet pulls inspiration from artists including PJ Harvey, The Breeders, Pixies, Cocteau Twins, Soundgarden, L7, Björk, and Alice in Chains, creating a sound that feels reverent toward the past while still belonging to a new generation.
The album was released May 29, 2026, and produced with Justin Raisen. Across its compact 11 tracks, Violet moves between heavy riffs, distorted guitars, dreamy textures, vulnerable songwriting, and explosive bursts of noise. Apple Music describes the record as a debut that is equally “vicious and vulnerable”—a fitting summary of its balance between aggression and emotional openness.
