Drose are a trio out of Columbus, Ohio started by former Toads and Mice frontman, Dustin Rose. Dustin was joined by Gregory Packet, formerly of Dayton, Ohio's LVNGS, and John Mengerink in 2011. Drose's music has been described as doing "a wonderful job of juxtaposing beauty and ugliness with crushingly heavy industrial death drums that echo to early Swans and a hint of Godflesh and art damaged guitar work that would make Blixa Bargeld blush." in a review by Permanent Records.
