Jamie Lane ~ Vocals/Guitars
Singer and rhythm guitar player Jamie Lane knew at an early age music was his calling. Idolizing the likes of KISS, Queen, The Rolling Stones and eventually Motley Crue, Jamie started searching for a band in his early teens. Discouraged due to the lack of musicians in the area, he started sneaking into clubs on the local rock scene. Though he had only been playing guitar, The urge to be on stage honing his skills eventually led him to accept a spot singing in a local band which needed a vocalist. And thus the journey began…. Stints with bands such as Montage’, Pain Station and Six Foot Soul, he developed a style and presence that has earned him a reputation as one of the most energetic guitarist/vocalists in Flints music scene since the likes of the Grand Funk Railroad era and now, fifteen years later, Jamie finds himself with his first record deal. The dream of a child becomes the dream of a man, and the journey to stardom starts now. Devout devotion and the love of music drive this singer each and every day. Please come and let him share his dream with you.

Bryan Kelly ~ Bass/Vocals
One part: Geezer Butler, 2/3 Nikki Sixx, 1/2 Cliff Burton, add a dash of Sid Vicious and Duff McKagen. Throw it all in a blender and the mess you come out with is Bryan Kelly. Loud, rude and aggressive bass playing the way the Gods intended.

Del Hall ~ Percussion
Del, from Flint, MI started annoying his parents at an early age banging on pots and pans. His parents decided to buy him a drum set for Christmas in 1976. Granted, it was a Mickey Mouse set, but it was something for him to get started. After a few months he lost interest, and nobody knows what happened to the drum set. At the age of 11, he saw his first Motley Crue video (Looks That Kill) and after seeing Tommy Lee play, he had found his calling. After begging for another kit his father ((Delano Hall SR) R.I.P)) decided to give him another opportunity to live out his musical interests. Del was re-inspired when he received his first real kit. His dedication was playing to the radio going to and from school and daydreaming all day about playing his set. “My father let me play anytime I wanted, even if it was 3am,” Del stated. To this day he has never looked back. His passion for music and playing the drums definitely shows if you have ever seen him live. Del’s influences and heroes include, The Rolling Stones to contemporary artists such as Seven Dust. His influences include Tommy Lee, Tommy Aldridge, Neal Pert, Morgan Rose and Will Hunt. Audiences are captivated by the power and energy Del summons behind his drum set. His thunderous beats bring the crowd to a roar. The dedication Del gives to his craft has made him a well known name in his home town and other nearby cities. With previous bands that include, Knuckle Head, Dead to the World, Kemikal Down and Six Foot Soul, Del has smashing riffs and continues on this path with After the Ashes. The intensity he brings to the band is shown on stage and in the music.
