Violet Grohl’s Debut Single Draws Praise from Rock Royalty’s Next Generation

Violet Grohl, the eldest daughter of musician Dave Grohl, has officially launched her debut single, marking a significant step in her music career. This new track, titled THUM, embodies a driving alt-rock vibe reminiscent of bands like Queens Of The Stone Age and Them Crooked Vultures. The single is available both as a seven-inch vinyl and a digital download on Bandcamp.

Musical Style and Collaboration

Violet Grohl’s vocals are described as sweetly melodic, contrasting with a gritty guitar riff that evokes Josh Homme’s signature sound. In her announcement on Instagram, she expressed her excitement: “I’m beyond excited to finally share a little bit of what I’ve been working on over the last year.” She highlighted the collaboration with a talented group of musicians, underscoring the teamwork involved in creating these tracks.

Support from Rock Royalty Offspring

The single has garnered enthusiastic support from the children of notable rock stars. Some of the encouraging messages on Instagram include:

• Toni Cornell, daughter of Chris Cornell, exclaimed, “OMMGGG.”
• Shane Hawkins, son of the late Foo Fighters drummer, wrote, “So stoked for you V.”
• Raven, daughter of Gary Numan, expressed, “SO PROUD OF YOU.”
• Olive Freese, daughter of Josh Freese, shared an enthusiastic “OH MY GODDDD.”

Other attendees showing support include Flavor Flav from Public Enemy and Iris Apatow, daughter of director Judd Apatow.

Previous Musical Endeavors

This debut single is not Violet’s first foray into music. Earlier, she contributed guest vocals on the Foo Fighters’ 2023 album But Here We Are, and performed alongside her father on a cover of X’s “Nausea” in 2021. Her recent appearances include singing lead vocals on Nirvana’s classic All Apologies during the Fire Aid benefit concert in Los Angeles, sharing the stage with surviving members of the band.

Future Projects

Violet Grohl is reportedly collaborating with producer Justin Raisen, known for his work with artists like Kim Gordon and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, to create her debut album. The music community eagerly anticipates this upcoming project, as Violet continues to carve her own path in the industry.
