Violet Grohl has been hard at work on an album, The Hollywood Reporter has learned, and those who’ve heard her music say it’s fantastic.

The 18-year-old daughter of Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl, who has toured as a backup singer for her dad’s band and performed as a solo singer, is described as being “incredibly committed” to the music-making process and “to growing as an artist,” says a source.

YouTube is positively teeming with potential rabbit holes for TV obsessives to fall down. Sometimes at 3 a.m. Sometimes after a few beers. Sometimes when you should be working (couldn’t be us) but whether you’re drawn in by a near-obligatory shocked reaction thumbnail or you accidentally stumble across an interesting take on something you’re passionate about, there’s usually a rabbit hole waiting that feels like it could have been made just for you.

John Doe doesn’t think often about Los Angeles, the landmark punk record his band X released 40 years ago this month. He estimates he hasn’t even played the LP — which ranks on several Rolling Stone lists, including the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time and the 40 Greatest Punk Albums — in 35 years. “We play all those songs all the time live,” he says. “Recordings are great, but if you’re in the middle of it, playing songs live is better.”
