Released on Halloween, their aptly named single: “Hex,” has once again proven that Venus Grrrls are a force to be reckoned with when it comes to consistently producing and releasing quality, thought provoking anthems of empowerment. Having released “Lidocaine” and “Liar Liar” earlier in the year, both of which achieved critical acclaim such as: two Spotify editorial covers; a feature on Amazon Music’s “Breakthrough Rock and Fresh Rock,” and national radio play on BBC Radio 1 from Jack Saunders. It’s a near certainty that “Hex” will accelerate the band’s journey to destined stardom.
“‘Hex” is an ode to womenkind, touching on the universal experience of harassment. In the landscape of Hex, there are consequences for such behaviour, and generates a reality where we take the power back for ourselves. We are scared, and we are frustrated with the tale as old as time; we all have a story when we shouldn’t.” – Grace Kelly, Lead Singer
The track’s introduction consists of a driving, crunchy bass line which guides the listener to a heavy, dark rock sound. Lyrically, “Hex” follows riot grrrl themes. Throughout the track, GK’s vocals are extremely prominent, to the point where they steal the show. The track’s lead vocals combined with backing vocals lead to an audible experience that can only be described as harmonically perfect throughout the song’s duration. “Hex” proves once again that Venus Grrrls’ ability to maintain their authenticity, as well as their raw sound, accentuates them to be one of the shining stars in the UK’s modern day rock scene. The sheer energy produced by their instrumental prowess and feminine rage highlights each band member’s individual excellence. Hopefully, Venus Grrrls will continue to share their art with us for many years to come.
At this moment in time, the world needs more music like theirs.
