Injected – The Truth About You (out June 2)
In the mid-90s, Injected, a high-school metal trio, stormed out of the Atlanta underground destroying packed, sweaty clubs with intense and notoriously volatile live shows.
Front man, Danny Grady, exuding confidence, crushed Metallica-like and later Angus-worthy riffs with raw power and disarmingly melodic vocals. With rhythm section, Steve Slovisyky (bass) and Chris Wojtal (drums), they were joined by peerless lead guitarist Jade Lemons, whose bonafide charisma and drive brought the band to a new level.
Like a metal Jagger and Richards, Grady and Lemons feasted off of each other’s talent and unpredictability. They did what they wanted, fighting or confronting the audience, yet they somehow had each other’s back onstage. Gear paid the price—guitars were smashed, amps were kicked over—and shows were stopped mid-performance. There were just no lines whatsoever. They would call people out or sling guitars across the stage, showing a strange indifference to instruments they needed to perform, a freedom that somehow separated them from the rest of the world.
In 1996, Injected released their debut, “Hammered & Enamored,” a metal EP with songs “Bloodspoon,” “Face Down,” “Suffocate,” and “Methamphetamine.” After being wined and dined by major labels, and recording at the legendary Bearsville Studios, near Woodstock, New York, Island Def Jam released “Burn It Black,” their hard rock debut LP in February 2002.
Radio single “Faithless” ended up in heavy rotation on MTV and quickly became a Top 40 hit. They toured with stoner-rock pioneers Fu Manchu, contributed songs to Spiderman and other movie soundtracks, and co-headlined the MTV Campus Invasion Tour to tens of thousands a night. On the last night of that tour, Lemons, always unpredictable, shocked everyone taking Alice in Chains’ guitarist Jerry Cantrell up on a dare by streaking Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger off of the stage in Kansas City, Missouri.
Lemons, a genuine star, mysteriously passed away in 2016. Only after his death did Grady decide to release “The Truth About You,” perhaps the finest and most reflective album Grady has written, anchored by his sludgy but nimble, bone-crunching riffs. Grady’s guitar tones are instantly recognizable as classic Injected as are the angst of his lyrics and his vocal growl. With refreshing production and almost a live feel, “The Truth About You” fifteen years later, is a perfect follow-up to “Burn It Black.”
Grady produced the “The Truth About You” in Athens, Georgia with engineer Kyle Spence, a thunderous drummer (Harvey Milk, Dinosaur Jr., Kurt Vile), who also played on the album. Its front cover features a photo entitled “Black Forrest” by the Australian photographer Samantha Everton. The rest of the package is black in memory of Lemons, who joined Grady in tracking “The Truth About You.”

Birthday cake and scorpions, glitter-glam and steel-toed boots—Family Pet isn’t some bubblegummy girl group trying to sell your 13-year-old cosmetics. They’re female empowerment incarnate. They deliver garage-punk riffs with flippant aggression, their snotty, subversive lyrics smoothed like strawberry icing over the beating heart of rock & roll. The band’s new eponymous Colleen Green-produced single and B-side “I’m a Bitch” (out June 2) make a perfect soundtrack for dismantling the patriarchy in Trump’s America.
Family Pet’s name is a (sad) joke about the American ideal of normalcy, symbolized by the domestic female. “It’s just a fantasy,” lead singer & bassist Kate Dwyer says. “This idea that giving up your own dreams in exchange for comfort, for family happiness, is worthwhile. Keeping up the status quo, trying not to be offensive, watching your tone. That’s what the fantasy woman is. She’s your family pet. Your homemaker slave.”
The song “Family Pet” bludgeons the concept home, speaking to anyone who’s ever felt trapped by expectations. “Every day I deal with shit … Hi, I’m Mrs. Fairweather!” Dwyer sings. It’s an anthem celebrating the moment when a woman decides she’s had it. What follows is a struggle both social and spiritual, as Family Pet indulges this base instinct to fight back. “The song is about living in the world and being creative,” Dwyer says, “Except nowadays the world is made not for creativity but for giving up. It’s a constant battle. Creativity has to be fought for. I really believe that.”
This feeling of teetering between oppressive burden and wild enthusiasm, between compliance and defiance, is a big part of why Dwyer started the band in the first place. “Family Pet is a response to me being frustrated as a female musician,” she says. “It’s a labor of love for the community, but it’s also for me—something I’d want as a music lover.”
This impassioned, take-no-prisoners desire for liberation continues unabashed with B-side, “I’m a Bitch.” High-octane drums and adrenaline-pumping guitars propel the verse—”You’ve got a lot of time on your hands now / I’ve got a lot of ‘leave me alone.'” It deals with a situation where Dwyer quit a terrible job where the boss wanted her to work extra hours without pay. “After I quit, they basically hit me up to let me know, ‘You’re a bitch’ because I wouldn’t work for free,” Dwyer says. “The fact that my old job would contact me just to be shitty—who has time for that? You know what? If sticking up for myself makes me a bitch, then so be it. I am a bitch.”
Family Pet comes from the ashes of Dwyer’s previous bands Sadwich and Feeling Feelings. Both used overly cutesy elements Dwyer felt no longer suited her temperament. She was simply too pissed off. So Family Pet was built on frustration and aggression. Dwyer promptly recruited her sister Maggie on guitar, and they put all their efforts into this blood-bonded punk-rock sister act, à la Kim & Kelley Deal of The Breeders in the late ‘80s. Once rounded out by guitarist Natalie XXXX and drummer Katie XXX (drums) (who played with Dwyer in her previous projects), Family Pet went to work crafting their rambunctious, aggressive and unapologetically feminist sound.
Music has been a weapon of empowerment for Dwyer—a way to express her frustrations and overcame adversity; a machete for carving through the jungle of L.A.’s unforgiving music scene. Family Pet is now running a gauntlet once traversed by pioneering all-female Los Angeles legends like The Runaways and L7 while joining the ranks of contemporaries like Colleen Green, Cherry Glazerr and Bleached. In the band’s short life they’ve already shared stages with Honus Honus (Man Man), The Memories, comedian/writer Dan Harmon (Community, Rick and Morty, Harmon Quest) and the rest of the Harmontown cast. Family Pet’s debut LP, Petty, is slated for a July 2017 release.
