Dean Kitto hails from Bessemer, Michigan where he started drumming at the young age of 11.  Completely self-taught, he has had a passion for drumming ever since he started. His first bands (Neon Knights and Cool Weazel) were started with himself and several friends.  Dean then went on to drum for an AC/DC tribute band called Jailbreak.  Dean spent time in Germany where he played in bands with friends, then went on to join the band Last Chance with his brother and father. This lasted 10 years until he started his own band (Killowatt) where he honed his vocal abilities.  After moving to Kentucky, he played and recorded with Firebourne. Dean's early influences are Tommy Lee, Tommy Aldridge, Mike Portnoy, and Neil Peart. 

Favorite drink: Busch Light beer.  Get's the job done while not being too heavy.  The heavy is for the drumming.

Dylan Compton, the only native Kentuckian in the band, grew up in Hiseville.  He has been playing bass for over 20 years and has played for bands such as The Ghost & The Human Hoax.  He has been making music independently as The Tombstone Kid on TikTok which includes a full studio album.  Influences include Pink Floyd, Korn, Dax Riggs, Yavid, and Eminem.

Favorite Drink: Twisted Tea with a little sumthin' sumthin' added.  Just like his bass playing... smooth and hits hard when needed!
