PEX were an Irish boy band of the mid-late 1990s. The five members were Brian Martin ("Sporty Pex"), Rory Donegan ("Baby Pex"), Andy Cooney ("Ginger Pex"), Gary Clarke ("Scary Pex") and Keith Cox ("Posh Pex") who quickly became known for their unique pop-reggae music style and for their open peck shirts on stage.[1] They were signed to Sony Music and had a number of chart hits in South West Dublin in Ireland. After three top ten single releases in Dublin, they attempted to break the UK market minus Keith Cox, who had left for family reasons.

Although moderately successful in the UK, the band became well known in Asia with sales of up to 254 copies of their debut album. After being dropped by Sony in the late 1990s and numerous lawsuits from a popular UK girl pop group, the band called it a day. Martin now runs a multi-media company in Dublin, having worked at a Spanish tourist resort, Donegan works in the Market Analysis industry, Cooney is an Interior Designer, and Clarke lives in the United States.[2]
