Wrex are continuing to dominate the live music scene with some big shows later this year!
Mae said: “The last year has been about getting out there and pushing ourselves – playing as much as we can, meeting people, and feeling that connection in real time.
“We’ve played 54 shows over the last year, and that’s completely changed our perspective. This project started with two people and a laptop, so being in those rooms night after night has forced us out of our own heads, stripped something back, and let the songs take on a different weight once they’re shared with other people.
“This EP is about taking our personal experiences and opening them up in a way that other people can identify with. Our prior writing was very focused on the self; SADWORLD is more of a reflection on the impact of the world in its current state, and on the community”.

The Hara will be touring in the UK later this year in support of album The Fallout!
Support will come from High Regard.
Guitarist Zack Breen said: “THE FALLOUT was us tearing everything down and rebuilding louder, heavier, and more honest. The way the fans have ferociously made it their own has been insane. Going back on tour now feels like lighting the fuse – we are ready to bring the chaos.”
Josh Taylor adds: “THE FALLOUT was made for our live shows. Pure energy & riffs throughout & storytelling that deserves big stages, so we cannot wait to get this record back out for round 2 in bigger venues across the UK & Europe! Let’s make each night an experience we will all never forget.”
