VENDED

Five musicians from Des Moines, Iowa, on a quest for world domination. They’re achieving the seemingly impossible with their new, creative sound and distinctive style.

VENDED was founded in February 2018 and consists of Cole Espeland (guitar), Griffin Taylor (vocals), Simon Crahan (drums), Jeremiah Pugh (bass), and Connor Grodzicki (guitar). The rhythm section impresses with its speed, power, and precision. This is complemented by uncompromising, aggressive, and driving guitars, as well as vocals that reflect the hardships and realities of life. VENDED has a unique sound that stands at the forefront of a new era and generation.

After two years of dedication and hard work, VENDED played their sold-out debut show on March 8, 2020, at the local venue Vaudeville Mews, which was enthusiastically received by the audience. Just a few days later, the world came to a standstill due to the pandemic, leading to an unplanned hiatus.

Since then, the band has returned stronger and hungrier than ever. They released their debut EP as well as the two follow-up singles, “Ded To Me” and “Overall.”Over the past two years, VENDED has toured the globe almost nonstop, playing in over 30 countries across three continents, and is charging full steam ahead on its path to world domination. This is just the beginning.
