EP SADWORLD OUT 20TH MAY

"111" is a bold, uncompromising statement. It is a "blink-and-you’ll-miss-it" track that demands to be played at maximum volume. By stripping away the fluff and focusing on pure, raw energy, WREX has created a track that feels like a necessary exhale.

If this is a taste of what’s to come on SADWORLD, the EP is shaping up to be an essential listen for fans of modern, boundary-pushing alternative rock.

WREX have returned with a frantic, high-octane jolt of energy in their latest single, "111". Dropped just ahead of their highly anticipated EP SADWORLD (due May 20th), this track is a masterclass in brevity and raw, unfiltered expression.

Clocking in at exactly—and fittingly—one minute and eleven seconds, "111" doesn't waste a single millisecond. It is a blistering, punk-infused surge that feels less like a traditional song and more like a visceral reaction. The track captures the essence of a "live room" chaos, functioning as a high-speed sonic purge.

For listeners familiar with WREX’s blend of alternative rock, punk, and nu-metal, "111" serves as a perfect microcosm of their sound: aggressive, sharp, and unapologetically direct.

Beyond the frantic tempo, the track carries a poignant weight. The band has described it as an anthem for their neurodiverse friends, acting as a sonic representation of an "ADHD itch"—that restless, bubbling pressure that demands release. It is the sound of holding it all together until you simply can’t anymore. This intent elevates the track from a short, aggressive outburst to a deeply relatable reflection on modern anxiety and the impulse to self-destruct when overwhelmed.

"111" acts as the final piece of the puzzle before the May 20th release of the SADWORLD EP. With previous singles like the explosive "Consume" and the atmospheric, anxiety-driven "Paranoia" (complete with its slick video directed by Dogbrain), it is clear that WREX is refining their ability to tackle heavy, dark themes without losing their infectious, high-energy edge.

The duo has a relentless tour schedule for 2026, including a confirmed spot at Bloodstock Festival this August. Be sure to check their official channels for ticket information and full tour dates as they continue their heavy run of shows across the UK.
