KALAMITY KILLS
L to R: Jamey Perrenot, Rob Bodley, Jamie Rowe, Julia Lauren Bullock
KALAMITY KILLS is a hard-hitting rock band founded by powerhouse vocalist Jamie Rowe and renowned producer/guitarist Jamey Perrenot. With a career spanning decades and performances in over 35 countries, Rowe is known for delivering authentic and emotionally charged music. Disillusioned with limiting his sound to a single, faith-based genre, Rowe shifted his focus to creating music that resonates universally. Perrenot, whose career highlights include serving as Taylor Swift’s bandleader and touring with LeAnn Rimes, brings his production expertise from his East Nashville studio, where the duo’s dynamic partnership came to life.
The band’s debut album reflects a perfect balance of timeless rock influences and modern energy. KALAMITY KILLS has already made waves with singles like “The Chemistry of Meant To Be,” which climbed to #42 on the Mediabase and Billboard Rock charts, and “Starry Skies (988),” an anthem for suicide prevention that premiered on SiriusXM Octane with Jose Mangin and reached the Mediabase Top 40 for 7 weeks in 2025. “Starry Skies” features Aaron Gillespie of Underoath on drums and guest vocals, while Korn drummer Ray Luzier has lent his talents to several tracks, including “The Chemistry of Meant To Be.” The band’s reimagined cover of “I Still Believe,” the iconic anthem from The Lost Boys soundtrack, introduced KALAMITY KILLS to a global audience. In 2025, the band expanded their live lineup to include Julia Bullock and Rob Bodley of the Nashville alt-rock band The Foxies, whose dynamic energy further elevates KALAMITY KILLS’ electrifying stage performances.
While still finding their audience, KALAMITY KILLS has already carved out a niche with their unique blend of raw emotion and high-energy rock. As Rowe puts it: “There’s always a place for fun, mindless hard rock songs, but if I can season that with something that goes deeper than the eardrums, I’m going to explore that.”
