On the new single, duel vocalists George and Mae comment:
“‘Take a Walk’ is like going out and getting fucked up, and leaving a voicemail to yourself about all the things you hate about yourself. There is an angel and a devil at play in the lyrics; one voice is the embodiment of all those negative characteristics, and the other is at war with it to save you from becoming that person, and from digging your own grave.”

About WREX:

“Absolutely phenomenal live band if you get the chance to see them.” – Melita Dennett (Radio Reverb, BBC Introducing).

Brighton-born duo WREX make electro-charged alternative rock to turbocharge heartbeats, snap necks and fill both dance floors and moshpits. Shades of punk, nu-metal, pop and trance collide and coalesce but never clash; a wild explosion of riffs and synths that pulls from influences as diverse as While She Sleeps, Faithless and Linkin Park.

When George Donoghue and Mae Seaton met as perfect strangers on a night out, neither of them could have known how much they needed one another. But WREX, the band born of the pair’s chance connection some years later, has come to be exactly that: not simply a creative outlet but a need, an urge, a calling, a pure expression. This is the WREX blueprint: a fierce, all-enveloping wall of sound with little time for music’s outdated boundaries or conventions; creativity, joy and emotion unbound. “Working with someone that has as much excitement for making music as Mae is invigorating and inspiring for me,” Donoghue says. “Neither of us has any sort of ego when it comes to making music. No idea is ever off the table. A big part of the WREX ethos is never asking permission–that cuts to the core of both our sound and our DIY sentiment. WREX is ultimately about making art for the sheer joy of creating, and we want to convey that excitement on record and in our live show.” Band Members:
Mae Seaton – Vocals
George Donoghue – Vocals / guitars / synths
