1) Three were a post-hardcore band signed to Dischord records featuring members of Gray Matter and ex-Minor Threat drummer Jeff Nelson. Formed in 1986, they broke up by 1988 just before releasing an album called Dark Days Coming. They are best known for their song "Swann Street" which featured on their sole album as well as a couple of Dischord compilations.
After recording the Egg Hunt songs in England, Ian MacKaye and Jeff Nelson considered forming a new band. They played with Geoff Turner and Steve Niles of Gray Matter, but the project never got off the ground and Ian decided to leave. The others carried on, and soon added yet another Gray Matter member, Mark Haggerty, and this line-up would become Three. Meanwhile, Steve had started his own comic book company, Arcane Comix, which he operated out of the apartment that he shared with Geoff on Swann Street in the Dupont Circle area of DC. It was this street that served as inspiration for the song of the same name, and the line "these berries smell like shit" referred to the small fruits that dropped to the sidewalks from the Ginkgo trees on the block. Three did a few short tours, and recorded at Geoff's home studio as well as Inner Ear. Things were looking up for them, but the band self-destructed before their album came out. Three and Happy Go Licky played their last shows together on New Year's Day, 1988.

2) Three consists of a set of identical triplet sisters, Fanny, Frida and Sofia, from Sweden. They are best known for their 2010 single “Lucky Number” and have released a self-titled debut album.
3) Imagine the best of three musical worlds harmoniously melting together - in this case, warm acoustic guitar and rhythms layered over bracing electric guitar accents and compelling drums fronted by vocals that balance between passionate and edgy. The best word to describe this musical meld is perhaps a genre of its own: Acousti-rock.
Three has released 3 NEW! songs Home, Unfamilair and wysiwyg all recorded at Powerhouse Studios. Stuart Covington engineering and also performing drums in the songs.
Bill Stu- vocals, guitar
Rack - guitar, vocals
T - bass
Stewy - drums
4) Three was a two piece Canberra band active in the 1990's whom consisted of virtuoso bass player Ben Green who also lent his voice to their compositions and Adrian McKerall (Ajax) who played drums and the odd spot of guitar. Their early demo's featured some ripping heavy bass playing that became more mature, mellow and the two piece minimalist approach was a uniquely Canberra voice as they developed.
Both members were active in other acts in the Canberra region (Bungzilla, Tugboat, Slug, Prophets of Doom etc) and played to a wider audience touring Australia until the release of their full length "My Hat Is A Red Saucepan". Green built his own bass guitar that he played throughout his time in the band which eventually relocated to Melbourne in the mid 90s
Green also became proficient in turntables and began scratching with Melbourne dub outfit High Pass Filter, Three became less active and after Green's custom handmade bass was stolen, seemed to disband.

Lookin at you're pager seein different numbers and numbers
Call you on your cell you hangin with the fellas the fellas
Hanging with my girls you always gettin jealous and jealous

Here I go critical or Tyrone
You do or you don't
The song "No More" by Three is a breakup anthem that expresses the feelings of a woman who is fed up with her partner's broken promises and unfaithfulness. Through the lyrics, we see a woman who is tired of constantly seeing different numbers on her partner's pager and his suspicious behavior whenever she's hanging out with her girls. The woman reminisces on better times, pointing out how she was always there for him when he had no one else and even got close to his mother. She also highlights the fact that her partner treats her right sometimes but then goes back to his disrespectful ways when he's with his boys. Towards the end of the song, the woman questions what happened to their love, noting that they used to be best friends and wondering where they went wrong. She's determined to move on from the relationship and do what's right for her.
Overall, "No More" is a relatable song that speaks to the emotions of anyone who has been hurt in a relationship. The lyrics are straightforward and impactful, with the repetition of "You do or you don't" and "No more, no more baby, I'm a do it right" hammering home the message that enough is enough. The use of slang and colloquialisms in the lyrics gives the song a casual and conversational tone, making it feel like a heart-to-heart conversation between friends.

I was there for you when you didn't have any friends to hang out with
Hangin at your crib chillin with your mamma your mamma
I used to hang out at your house and get along well with your mother
Never found a dream never worth the drama the drama
I never found a dream in you that was worth all the drama and stress
Now your at the screen playin pleaz
You're now sitting at home playing games and begging for my attention
No I'm not the one
I'm not the type of woman who will put up with your behavior
Say it again say it again oh
Repeat that statement once more
You do or you don't
You either do something or you don't do it, there is no middle ground
You will or you won't (wont)
You will either do something or you won't, it's up to you
No more, no more baby I'm a do it right

You either have the ability to do something, or you don't
Be a man, be a man (man)
Act like a mature, responsible man
You treat me like a lady when you open doors and doors
You act like a gentleman when you open doors for me
Then you want to fret when you're wit you're boys you're boys
But then you act differently and worry about what your friends think when you're with them
How you gonna play me when I got you're clothes you're clothes
How can you cheat on me when I have your clothes in my possession?
The ones that you'd wherin when you're wit you're doughes and doughes
The clothes that you would wear when you hang out with your friends
I know you never thought that I would have the nerve the nerve
You probably didn't think that I would be brave enough to confront you
Think about it more since you at the cirb the cirb
Take some time to reflect on this while you're chilling with your friends
Blowin at my pager say you wana chance a chance
You keep messaging me on my pager, asking for another chance
Listen when I say it player pleaz
Pay attention to what I'm saying, player
I just want to no
I just want to know
What happened to our love
What went wrong with our relationship?
We used to be best friends where did it go wrong
We used to be best friends, so where did things become problematic?
When you gonna see
When are you going to realize
How good it is for me
How beneficial this relationship is for me
I'm tired and I'm through with all your messin babe
I'm exhausted and done dealing with all of your nonsense, baby
Yo yo yo
An exclamation to grab someone's attention
And you promised me case babe
You promised me things, babe
But that was last year boy in the eighth grade
But those promises were made long ago
And you ain't Biggy baby boy
And you're not nearly as successful as Biggie Smalls, baby boy
So no it ain't one more chance when you're friends around you don't want to hold my hand
So there won't be one more chance, especially since you're embarrassed to hold my hand in front of your friends
And now you seein girls
And now you're seeing other girls
Stylin while I'm inside the mix
Looking good while I'm suffering/mixed up inside
Hoppin at the whips the whips a 5 or 6
Driving fancy cars like a 5 or 6 series BMW
Yes fly crone
A beautiful, stylish woman
So put in my tone
So let it be known
Here I go critical or Tyrone
Here I come, either critically or with the attitude of Tyrone
