WHAT THEY SAID
"We are very much just trying to keep it as clean and as mysterious as possible, while still being like, 'we are working,'" † Griffin Taylor told Rock Sound from Bloodstock Open Air in Derbyshire, England. The Vended vocalist admits the band rushed their 2024 self-titled debut out the door, and they're refusing to do that twice †.
THE DETAILS
- Album two is in progress, but there's no title and no release date attached to it as of the August 10, 2026 reports *†.
- Taylor says he's still working out what he wants to convey on the new material, and what image the band is putting in front of the world †.
- The debut came together fast by design — the goal then was getting it out quickly †.
- Vended features Simon Crahan, son of Slipknot's M. Shawn "Clown" Crahan, and Griffin Taylor, son of Corey Taylor †.
- European dates continue: Copenhagen's KB Hallen (Aug 11), Poolbar Festival in Feldkirch, Austria (Aug 13), Frankfurt's Zoom (Aug 14) and Reload Festival in Sulingen, Germany (Aug 15) †.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
Nothing concrete is on the calendar — the open question is whether Vended reveal anything about the record before the European run wraps.
