Vexed
1. Vexed are a British metalcore band from Hertfordshire, formed on New Years Day 2019, by vocalist Megan Targett, guitarist Jay Bacon and drummer Willem Mason-Geraghty. All three members had played together in a band whose direction they had grown to dislike following numerous lineup changes; Targett said that she felt limited in what she could do as a female musician in the band, and as a result "didn’t have a lot of respect for the music or myself because none of it was genuine to me." After reaching a collective breaking point that almost led them to quit music altogether, they decided to form a new band together where they could write, wear, play and say whatever they wanted. Targett said that Vexed's name was inspired from the widespread use of the word in The Count of Monte Cristo, stating that she related with the word and her lyrics. The band's lineup originally featured guitarist Callan Hughes.
After the band's formation, Vexed began meeting up a couple of times a week to work on new material. In April 2019, Vexed self-released their debut single, "Elite", featuring then-Thy Art Is Murder vocalist CJ McMahon. The collaboration came about from Targett reaching out to McMahon on Instagram; he initially declined due to his busy schedule, but quickly changed his mind after listening to the music and recorded his parts for the song the following day. The song received over 500,000 streams across various platforms by 2021. In May 2019, they released their second single, "Dominate". In July 2019, Vexed performed their first ever show on the Fireball Whiskey stage of the UK Tech-Fest in Newark-on-Trent. The success of "Elite" brought Vexed to the attention of a promoter in Switzerland, leading the band to organize a tour of the country. Vexed recruited bassist Al Harper for the tour two weeks before it began; by its end, he had officially joined the band. In October 2019, the band toured the United Kingdom with In Depths.

Vexed played an unique style...a mix between post punk , funk , art and death rock , nothing what so ever to do with the sludgy, grungy sounds of the Northwest.
