VENUS GRRRLS crystallise their emerging goth-grunge sonority with a strong early riot grrrl-influenced undercurrent. Evoking an alternate timeline where Bikini Kill predated both Romanticism and Siouxsie and The Banshees, it’s VENUS GRRRLS narrative talent that stands out once again; lead singer GK’s vocal inflections are a commanding presence against cascading riffs and synth motifs.

She is joined by Eliza Lee (Lead Guitar), Hannah Barraclough (Bass), Grace Stubbings (Synth) and Gabby Cooke (Drums), where the Leeds/Newcastle rock coven have been heard on the likes of BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music, Radio X, and Sirius XM, and acclaimed from the likes of Kerrang!, DORK, Hot Press, Distorted Sound and DIY. 

“Excellent” – Kerrang!
“2023 belongs to VENUS GRRRLS” – Nels Hylton (BBC Radio 1)
“This is what i’m talking about, by being bold in your music” – Jack Saunders (BBC Radio 1)
“A band who really sound like they want to make things happen; to affect some sort of change” – Steve Lamacq (BBC 6 Music)
