Alt-rock coven VENUS GRRRLS return with new single ‘3×3’, the band’s first release via new alt-rock label Killabop and the label’s inaugural original release.
Based between Leeds, Newcastle and Liverpool, VENUS GRRRLS are known for their wall-to-wall, spellbinding sound. ‘3×3’ marks a ferocious start to 2026.
“The lyrics for ‘3×3’ poured out of us recently, off the back of multiple significant relationships changing. We all sat together, processing, ruminating and repeating the ins and the outs. We have often tended to each other’s wounds as relationships ebbed and flowed; ones that built and fell again. It became clear throughout all of that, our shared experiences and situationship traumas were healed by this very process of sisterhood. It’s fundamentally an impolite song, brash and angry as it channels unfiltered feminine rage very much detailing the angry, regretful processing stage of a relationship ending. It was a little scary whilst we wrote the lyrics – as much as we usually sing about macabre subjects, this one is possibly the most confrontational song we’ve ever written lyrically.

Spiritually, 3 is such a powerful and poignant number. We’re very aware of its presence in our tarot readings, hence the Three of Swords on the cover art (by a tattoo artist we love, Lily Rafferty –@needle.mistress), as well as the belief of getting back thrice what you put out into the universe. ‘3×3’ is a song of regret and rage, stumbling with a bold riff you can stomp to, filtered through the lenses of dark 90s guitar work, and grating synths. The message of the song is simple – find your coven and forget (and maybe hex) your evil ex.”
