Vended is an American nu metal band from Des Moines, Iowa, founded in 2018.[3] The band features two members who are sons of members of Slipknot: singer Griffin Taylor is the son of Corey Taylor, and drummer Simon Crahan is the son of Shawn "Clown" Crahan.[4] They are joined by bassist Jeremiah Pugh, and guitarists Cole Epseland and Connor Grodzicki. Vended released the EP What Is It//Kill It in 2021, as well as several stand-alone singles.

History

Vended was formed in 2018 by Griffin Taylor and Simon Crahan when they were teenagers; the duo then recruited Jeremiah Pugh, Cole Epseland, and Connor Grodzicki.[5] Their name is pronounced with emphasis on the second syllable: "ven-DEAD", and is based on the word vendetta. The band avoided touring during their first few years due their young age.[6]

The younger Taylor and Crahan resist comparisons of the band to Slipknot, maintaining that they are largely self-taught musicians and did not receive extensive instructions from their fathers.[7] [8] This assertion has been supported by the elder Taylor and Crahan.[9] [10] [11]

Their first live performance was in Des Moines in March 2020,[12] just before being forced to go on hiatus by the COVID-19 pandemic. They released their first recording, the single "Asylum", on September 21, 2021.[13] Vended released a second single, "Burn My Misery", on October 19 and announced that they would be releasing the EP What Is It/Kill It the following month on November 12.[14] The five-song EP What Is It//Kill It was released in November 2021.[15] In late 2022 Vended toured the United States with Jinjer and P.O.D.[16] Vended released several stand-alone singles starting in 2022.[17] [18]
