The musician released her debut album, Be Sweet to Me, last month
Violet Grohl appeared on The Tonight Show to perform her song “Bug in the Cake.” The musician, the daughter of Foo Fighters’ frontman Dave Grohl, showcased the rousing, grungy track alongside her live band.
“Bug in the Cake” comes off Grohl’s debut album, Be Sweet to Me, which arrived on May 29 via Auroura Records/Republic Records. The LP was recorded from late 2024 into early 2025 at producer Justin Raisen’s Los Angeles home studio alongside musicians assembled in the spirit of the Wrecking Crew session players in the ’60s and ’70s.
When the album was announced, Grohl said she was inspired by alternative music from the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, including Pixies, Soundgarden, Cocteau Twins, and the Breeders. “There’s something so powerful about that period of music, from the messaging to the visuals, it’s authentic and raw,” she said in a statement. “I’ve listened to that stuff since I was a kid.”
