Vended with special guests The Protest and CARNIVXROUS at Turntable in Indianapolis on Thursday, September 18, 2025!
Vended
Vended pushes the limits of combustible energy and raw aggression in every song and performance. The core element at the band's heart—in the music, message, and theatricality—is authenticity. Vended unleashes a bold, honest, passionate take on heavy music and stands determined to raise the flag for a new generation. Their goal is nothing less than world domination. No compromises.
Vended (pronounced Ven-dead, shortened from “vendetta”) first gathered in early 2018 and were determined to avoid the mistakes of lesser bands. Rather than hastily cobble together a few half-hearted songs, Griffin Taylor (vocals), Cole Espeland (lead guitar), Jeremiah Pugh (bass), Connor Grodzicki (guitar), and Simon Crahan (drums) secluded themselves away in their drummer’s basement, toiling in relative obscurity until they were confident in what they created together.
The young band from Des Moines, Iowa landed on the cover of Kerrang! just two years after their first headlining gig. Revolver heralded them as one of 10 Bands Leading the New Wave of Nü-Metal. They’ve dominated on support runs across the US and headliners/festivals in Europe and South America, sharing stages with Bring Me The Horizon, Avenged Sevenfold, Korn, and Knocked Loose.
The blistering What Is It // Kill It EP (2021) preceded the band’s vicious self-titled debut. Vended (2024) was produced by Chris Collier (Prong, Stillwell, Korn) and engineered by James “Fluff” Harley.
Vended (the self-titled album and the band) push forward with relentless drive, perseverance, and passion. Vended approach every song—as they do each performance—as if it could be their last. They leave it all on the stage, night after night, and the album is no different.
No longer teenagers, the band looks unflinchingly at the world and within themselves. Vended face down all obstacles together, summoning strength and courage within their art while never forgetting to have a reckless good time.
