Our Blog Coordinator, Fenton Wright, sat down with Violet Grohl ahead of her show at Crystal Ballroom a few weeks ago. They talked about the music industry, anxiety, and more!
In her debut album Be Sweet to Me, Violet Grohl channels a melodic alternative rock energy. She began performing alongside her father, Dave Grohl, and recently started her own solo career. “Big Memory”, track five on her album, is a track that stands out and creates an outline for what we can expect from her music career in the future.
“Performed and filmed in December of last year, Live At Carnegie Hall marks a tonal shift from the traditional loud, in-your-face music that we associate with Cameron Winter. On Live At Carnegie Hall, Winter delivers a beautiful vocal performance as he invites us to reckon with our insecurities, selfishness, and detachment from the world around us.”
At 2 minutes and 36 seconds, U2 has delivered their shortest-ever single: “Silencio.” It’s difficult not to groove along to this punchy, rip-roaring rocker, though the lyrics add poignant political commentary.

This fall, so many new albums and songs are being released every week! Our writing team wanted to take a minute to tell you about the releases they are most excited for.
Over the last decade, Phoebe Bridgers has emerged as one of the most exciting voices of independent music, and with the release of her latest album Lost Weekend, she has no intention of letting this momentum go. With her new single On Video, Bridgers takes us to a world all too familiar for us: suburbia in the 2000s.
Blondshell is back with her fourth studio album, Violins, and she has refined her sound even more than when she released her first in 2023. “Stone Fruit” in particular has a mature sound to it akin to an older, wiser Hayley Williams.
2020 was a year of loneliness, new hobbies, and self-discovery. In my case, it was the year I became a Gorillaz super-fan. I remember distinctly going through every music video that was available on their YouTube channel and being enthralled by all the lore.
I’m a long-time beabadoobee fan, so getting to see her live was a long time coming, but it was extremely worth the wait. It means everything when a musician you feel passionate about clearly cares just as much about their music as you do. Her entire team did a phenomenal job portraying the concept of this album: the stage, the band, the lighting, visuals, and audio. beabadoobee is truly a one-of-a-kind musician, and I’m already counting down the days until I can attend one of her shows again.
