Wrex – release final track before their long-awaited EP drops next month!

Rising Brighton-based duo, WREX release final track before their long-awaited EP drops next month! 111 is out today, and is a blistering track that lasts for the duration of… you guessed it; just 1 minute and 11 seconds long!. 

The band explain, “111 was written in and for the chaos of the live room. We wrote it during that burnt-out stretch after touring, and since then it’s become a real turning point in the set – the moment where everything suddenly locks in together. It feels like an anthem for our neurodiverse friends: a purge of energy, a release, and a reflection of that ADHD itch you just can’t scratch – that restless pressure, that impulse to self-destruct when you’ve been holding everything together for too long.”

The band are gearing up to the release of their EP! SADWORLD will be released on 20th May, and spans 5 rip-roaring tracks exploring some pretty dark themes. These include uncertainty, anxiety and self-doubt, but glimmers of hopefulness and optimism are threaded throughout. Pre-save SADWORLD here.

Last month, WREX released their single, Paranoia, alongside the official music video, which can be seen here. The band handed the creative reins over for the first time for the making of this video, and let award-winning director/DP Dogbrain (Wargasm, South Arcade) step in. Paranoia will join the previously released explosive, Consume on the EP. 

WREX hit the ground running in 2026 and have played a whole host of live shows and festivals already. They have just been added to the Bloodstock Festival lineup, for this August. Showing no signs of slowing down, the two-piece have a further slew of headline gigs and support slots confirmed for the rest of the year, as well as more festival appearances. Find all information and tickets here, and full dates further below.

The alt/rockers have been busy cutting their teeth on the live circuit since their inception, and spent 2025 headlining venues up and down the UK, as well as supporting the likes of The Hunna and Hacktivist, and playing festivals such as The Great Escape in their hometown of Brighton. 

WREX are comprised of friends Mae Seaton (vocals) and George Donoghue (co-vocals and guitar), who formed in 2020 in Brighton after a chance encounter years after meeting on a night out. Their debut EP, This Hell Goes A Long Way Down, arrived in 2024 and spans themes such as isolation and disconnection brought on by panic attacks, the suffocating nature of social media, and deep-rooted childhood trauma.

WREX make alternative rock music, which blends elements of punk and nu-metal. When it comes to experimenting, there are no rules, and their shared passion to create helps them push the boundaries and make the music they’ve always wanted to share with the world.
