Music: VENUS GRRRLS: 3x3

VENUS GRRRLS are a powerhouse all-female goth-grunge rock band hailing from Leeds and Newcastle, UK, blending 90s riot grrrl attitude with a cinematic, darkly romantic edge. Formed by GK (vocals, rhythm guitar), Eliza Lee (lead guitar), Hannah Barraclough (bass), Grace Stubbings (synth), and Alannagh Doherty (drums), the band’s fierce chemistry and sonic precision have made them one of the most exciting voices in the UK’s alt-rock resurgence.

Their sound — a fusion of riot grrrl defiance, shoegaze shimmer, and post-punk theatricality — has earned them widespread acclaim, with features on BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music, Radio X, and Sirius XM, and glowing coverage from Kerrang!, DORK, DIY, Hot Press, and Distorted Sound. VENUS GRRRLS’ visual aesthetic matches their sound: unapologetically feminine yet ferociously commanding, bridging grunge grit with gothic allure.

“3x3” captures VENUS GRRRLS at their most confident and dynamic — a storm of cascading guitars, sharp-edged synths, and hypnotic vocals that channel both power and vulnerability. The track crystallises their evolving goth-grunge identity, evoking an alternate timeline where Bikini Kill met Siouxsie Sioux under neon light.

Lyrically, “3x3” explores cycles of emotion and empowerment, where the personal becomes mythic and the feminine voice reclaims space in the sonic landscape. GK’s vocals, commanding and emotive, lead the charge through layers of distortion and melody, while the band’s interplay builds to a cathartic crescendo — equal parts aggression and elegance.

With “3x3,” VENUS GRRRLS prove that the new wave of UK alt-rock is in bold, capable hands — unafraid to mix beauty with danger, and intimacy with raw rebellion.
