Kiros first started back in the summer of 2000 when Barry Mackichan (bass/vox), Ryan Guerra (guitar), and Justen Gordon (drums) first got together and started jamming in the basement. The band instantly hit it off both as best friends and as musicians who were on the same page. Together they grew and matured musically and mentally as they worked their way up in the Calgary scene.
In 2002, Kiros released their first full length "Counterproductive" which they toured on for 2 years. After playing a mini tour with Slick Shoes and the Calgary stop on the Vans Warped Tour 2003, Kiros went on to shoot a video for their title track "Counterproductive" for which they headlined a hometown show with over 800 people who had come out to support. The "Counterproductive" video has been getting a lot of airplay in Canada both on Much Music, Much Loud, Musique Plus, and MTV2.

On June 1st 2004, Kiros released their brand new "Fight The Night EP" which is available all across Canada in HMV stores. The album can also be picked up online through smartpunk or interpunk. To support the release, Kiros teamed up with Allister and did a cross Canada tour together in June 2004. This past July 27th, Kiros just shot their 2nd video for their track "A Second Chance" off the Fight The Night EP. The video will be ready for release this coming September 2004.

Kiros just finished up on the Western Canadian dates of this summers warped, and are just about to join up for the Quebec City, Montreal, and Toronto stops of the tour.
