Not every band starts with a group of career-driven family men juggling their day jobs and life’s responsibilities, but that’s exactly what makes KROW stand out. This Ontario-based trio channels their passion for rock into a labor of love, where music becomes the ultimate balancing act. With a name inspired by their philosophy (“work” spelled backward), KROW shows that juggling careers, family, and creative pursuits is more than possible—it’s their way of life.
From Wrenches to Rock Anthems
Each member of KROW brings a unique story to the stage. Dave Jones, the guitarist and vocalist, transitioned from automotive technician to a business development manager in Canada’s railway sector, while maintaining his lifelong affair with music. Giles Collins, drummer and vocalist, juggles his role as a sales manager in asphalt and landscaping with teaching drums and engineering recordings. And then there’s Jake Gaston, the bassist and vocalist, who runs a successful HVAC company. Together, their diverse backgrounds harmonize in a shared love for creating music that resonates deeply.
Hard Work Meets Hard Rock
KROW’s sound combines driving rock rhythms with poetic reflections on mental health, life’s transitions, love, and the red flags we all encounter. Their debut album, Shiny Things, released in spring 2024, is a testament to their dedication. It’s more than just an album; it’s a legacy—one that everyone can experience as it streams live across platforms.
Adding to the excitement, their next single, Memory7, is slated for release in January 2025, offering fans another glimpse into KROW’s evocative storytelling and raw energy.
Rocking Against the Clock
For KROW, time is both a friend and foe. “We never seem to have enough of it,” they admit, a sentiment every busy professional can relate to. But their relentless drive shows that passion knows no schedule. Between family dinners, client meetings, and band rehearsals, KROW’s journey is one of resilience and love for the art.
A Band with a Vision
As KROW looks to the future, their aspirations are as bold as their sound. “Touring the world with fans chanting our name is the dream,” they share. And with their debut album and an unwavering commitment to their craft, that dream feels within reach.
