“The Voice”
Vocals • Guitar • KeysEric Wrate — “The Voice” — is the raw nerve of the band’s sound. His raspy, intense vocal on Explode doesn’t just carry the songs — it tears through them, low and on the edge. A Gwinn, Michigan vocalist and multi-instrumentalist, he sings like a man with nothing to lose and everything to prove, turning every track into both a warning and a promise.
Adam Bomb “The Pulse”
DrumsAdam Seckinger — drums. “Debuted on this rock rotating around a burning ball of gas over 5 decades ago. Dad was a drummer in a blues band. That lit the fire. Started gigging at 17 years old… haven’t stopped.” That’s not a résumé, it’s a bloodline — five decades later the fire hasn’t dimmed, burning through Dirty Trixx, Mother Fletcher, RoadHead, Julian Pike & The Jones, and Dying World, and landing behind the kit here with a lifetime in every downbeat.
“The Axe”
Guitar • Backing vocalsAlex “The Axe” Hamilton drives the band on guitar with backing vocals. A multi-instrumentalist and sound and recording engineer, he plays across the region’s rock and country scenes. Endorsed by Soultone Cymbals, Scorpion Percussion, and Ghost Fire Audio USA.
