Zex is Punk/ Metal band from Canada started in 2013. Members are Gab Hole (Bass), Mark Useless (Drums) Gretchen Steel (Vocals) and Jo Capitalicide (Guitar). They gained International notoriety in Sept of 2017 when a German record pressing plant by error pressed their music on the vinyl of Beyonce's Lemonade album[1]. Immediately following the worldwide attention due to the pressing error, the band was dropped by Magic Bullet Records that same day due to numerous sexual assault accusations lodged against guitarist Jo Capitalicide.[2] They have toured Canada and the Eastern US to support their album Fight For Yourself as well as several well reviewed singles.[3][4][5][6]
