History

Perspective
Vended was formed in 2018 by Griffin Taylor and Simon Crahan when they were teenagers; the duo then recruited bassist Jeremiah Pugh and guitarists Cole Espeland and Connor Grodzicki.[6] Their name is pronounced with emphasis on the second syllable: "ven-DEAD", and is based on the word vendetta.[4] The band avoided touring during their first few years due to their young age.[7]
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.[8][9] This assertion has been supported by the elder Taylor and Crahan.[10][11][12]
Their first live performance was in Des Moines in March 2020,[13] just before being forced to go on hiatus by the COVID-19 pandemic. They released their first recording, the single "Asylum", in September 2021.[14] Vended released their second single, "Burn My Misery", in October. The five-song EP What Is It//Kill It was released in November 2021.[15][16]
In late 2022 Vended toured the United States with Jinjer and P.O.D.[17] Vended released several stand-alone singles starting in 2022.[18][19] They released their first full-length album Vended in September 2024.[20] Grodzicki left the band for personal reasons in September 2025.[21]
