The band consists of DANIEL KIMMELMAN (vocals/rhythm guitar),
ULRICH DELAFUENTE (lead guitar), MIKEY STAMPEDE (drums) and
JASON CORRAL (bass guitar). The boys have been together for 2 years,
but a lineup change occurred in August of 2014, when JUSTIN HUET was
replaced with Jason Corral. Justin remains, however, as an active
presence in the band as the social media advisor. All 4 of these
bandmates are from El Paso, Texas, with their ages spanning from 24 to 32
years. They list their influences as follows: ALTER BRIDGE, SEVENDUST,
BREAKING BENJAMIN and TRIVIUM.
2015 was a productive year for the boys. Their first release was in January,
"The Starting Line". They just wrapped up a 4-track EP that is in final
stages of production—recorded at SONIC RANCH here in Texas. PAT
REGAN (DEEP PURPLE, KISS and MR. BIG) served as producer on this
project. The EP will be ready sometime in the first quarter of 2016. Once
the much-anticipated release is out (along with official music video) a
Summer Tour is planned to support these endeavors. Arizona, New
Mexico, California and of course, their home state of Texas, are in their
sights for said tour. Also worthy of mention, is their upcoming appearance
at SXSW this March 13th in Austin, Texas, at the DIRTY DOG BAR, an off
venue of the festival; "Dirty Fest", features 40 bands in 3 days.
