Ashes of Tyranny has taken many shapes and forms over the last decade. It's always been in existence, and always had Adam Caylor and Jamison Brummel. Dave Miller has been in the band for the longest aside from those two, approx. 7 years.
First we were called the Jamie and Adam show… that didn't last long, as no-one really likes a band without a bassist and well… the music really wasn't that good in the first place. Later we picked up Dave Miller on bass, and Chris Belknap on drums. I think at that point we were called Running Riot. We all were pretty into Halo for the Xbox and well… we were(are)nerds.
At one point we had 3 guitarists with the addition of Justin Smith, but that only lasted for a few months. The more people you have, the harder it is to get them on the same page. Justin went on to other things and Chris had some personal issues to work through, so we took in Ian Rocker, and lots of mids and tommy parts later we had ourselves a band. We played out some, but not really enough to write home about.
Ian went to Kansas University and was in the band program, meaning a lot less time to practice and gig. After the decision was made that he might have better things to do than drum for a band that didn't do much, we took in AJ Marstall as drummer.
At this point, the band was on its last legs. No-one really wanted to say we were done, but we were.
Three years later, here we are. New music, new people and new attitude.

About the members of the band
Jamison Brummel Lead Singer and Rhythm Guitar
I picked up the guitar in high school and have not set it down since. After the original band broke up, I continued to write music and record it on my own.
Adam Caylor has been playing guitar for 12 years in various band and working on various musical projects. His initial inspiration was nothing more than a social endeavour, hanging out with friends and learning songs ranging from Metallica to Garth Brooks.
My wife and I travelled to a few different places for a couple years until we headed back to Kansas. It was then, when I realized how much music was a part of me.
Itching to play again, we were able to get most of the band back together, minus a drummer. The day after my wife and I moved into our house, we met our next door neighbor Jeff Wildfong. It came out that he played drums and enjoyed Pantera, Ozzy and similar artists.
We've been rehearsing for about 5 months and have gotten quite a bit accomplished. I am happy to say that I'm on the right track again.
I've always felt like this was my calling. From the day I picked up a guitar to now, I still feel that I'm here to make a difference. Maybe I won't cure cancer or come up with some great government policy, but someone will hear what I have to say and be moved. Someone will listen to what I have put together, and find their own peace through it. I will be a voice that is heard.
Adam
In playing today his influences pull from many different musical sources which make up a unique playing style. Because of this love of all different kinds of music his influences include; Steve Vai, Eddie Van Halen, Guthrie Govan, John Sykes, Doug Aldrich, Michael Schenker, Jerry cantrell, Angus Young, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Duane Allman, Vince Gill, Brad Paisley, Glen Campbell, Brent Mason, Danny Gatton, Chet Atkins, Joe Pass, Wes Montgomery and George Benson. Although the driving force behind playing in Ashes of Tyranny is Adam's 15 year friendship with Jamison and his family, his wife Caryn sons Ray & Sam and of course his dog Elmer.
