Mike Kessell (Bassist) hails from Mount Savage, Maryland. His influences include Primus, Incubus, Tool, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Deftones and more. His style is driven by heavy funk, alternative rock, metal, rhythm & blues, and an eclectic mix of underground artists. Derek O'Neal (Guitarist) hails from Cumberland, Maryland with his family. His guitar style is widely influenced by a unique spread of players from Synyster Gates, Dimebag Darrell, and Ken Susi to the blues realm of Stevie Ray Vaughan and Joe Bonamassa. His riffs are aggressive, yet melodic and technical. Derek also contributes vocals, screams, and growls throughout the music. David Green (Drummer) hails from Charleston, South Carolina and currently resides in Cumberland, Maryland with his family. He has a strong musical background both as a lead singer and a drummer across the East Coast. He likes energetic and dynamic heavy rock music such as artists like Godsmack, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Disturbed, Seven Mary Three, and more. His style is sewn in alternative rock with an exquisite feel for emotional changes and bridges in each song. Let our music take you there, let our sound pull you in, come experience us.
