Jasco
Oakville, Ontario, Canada | Established. Jan 01, 2015
Bio
Content with the final addition of a top notch rhythm section, long-time friends Shjaane and Trevor knew they had found the missing ingredients they needed to complete JASCO, and to bring their hard rock alternative sound to the greater Toronto area and beyond.
The band had its beginnings in early 2015 when songwriting sessions between Shjaane Glover (lead vocals/rhythm guitar) and Trevor Friday (lead guitar/vocals), produced some key demos that the band would eventually forge into some of their set list staples. Shjaane and Trevor knew they had struck a unique, creative combination into effect featuring powerful lead vocals and driving electric guitar work. Adding Austin Gembora (drums) into the mix, to compose unique and lifting grooves to the songs, the three of them went on to record a 6-song EP and release a music video with Trevor taking on bass and lead guitar duties for the time being.
The band was soon joined by Humber Music bass man, David Maclean, to take over on bass just in time for their sold-out EP release party in Toronto. JASCO finally had the rhythm section it needed to solidify a young and prodigious 4-piece alternative rock group.
With thundering new grooves in the mix, JASCO has matured into a heavy, harmony forward, guitar driven rock sound but also touches on indie and folk influences.
The boys have been busy this past year writing and recording their next release which is due to be released in Summer 2018. The group also continues to take aim at the Southern Ontario region, taking part in some notable festivals such as Burlington's SOUND OF MUSIC FESTIVAL 2017. JASCO was also invited back to Oakville's KERRFEST for the second year in a row to take the stage as the sole local talent for their home-town's free music festival sharing the same stage with artists such as Big Wreck, April Wine, Loverboy and David Wilcox.
