Read Full Bio ↴There are 2 bands that have used the name Dow Jones and Industrials.
1. A West Lafeyette, Indiana punk band from the late 1970s and early 1980s.

1. Dow Jones and the Industrials were a punk band from West Lafeyette, Indiana from the late 1970's until about 1981. During this time, they released a split LP with Gizmos, entitled "Hoosier Hysteria", and a self-titled 7" EP. A Track of theirs, "Ladies With Appliances", was also featured on the "Red Snerts" compilation.
Originally, the band consisted of Greg Horn on guitar and vocals, Chris Clark on bass and vocals, Tim North on drums, and Brad Garton (otherwise known as "Mr. Science") on keyboards. The use of a keyboard, and the band's flirtation with electronic sounds, meant that Dow Jones and the Industrials hinted towards the post-punk sound of bands that would follow them.
In 1980, they released two records. Firstly, the split LP "Hoosier Hysteria". This was released on Gulcher Records, and also featured the Gizmos. Secondly, they released a self-titled 7" EP on Hardly Music Records.
In 1981, the band's track "Ladies With Appliances" was featured on the Red Snerts compilation released by Gulcher Records. By this time, Chris Clark had left, to be replaced by Jenny Sweeny on bass. Brad Garton had also left the group. He appeared as "Mr. Science" on the compilation, contributing a track entitled "Mr. Science".
After the demise of Dow Jones and the Industrials, Greg Horn went on to form Tone Set with Galen Herod. During the years 1983 to 1990, he also released two solo cassettes, both in a similar stylistic vein as that of Tone Set. He has also released material under the name Pointless, produced music for Japanese TV commercials, and for Nickelodeon's "Eureeka's Castle".
2. Dow Jones and the Industrials was also the name of a third wave ska band from Saugus, MA. They released three albums between 1996 and 1999. The first was 1997's "How's My Girlfriend Now". In 1998 they released "On The Warpath", possibly the band's most popular album to date. In 1999 they recorded a split CD with If You Say So entitled "All Mixed Up". The band subsequently broke up in 1999 due to growing older and creative differences. Members of the band later went on to form or perform with New Hip Stereo (also known as Jon Frederick Band), Last Born, as well as Big D and the Kids Table.
