Before The Fire
Before The Fire was created in late 2006 with one vision in mind: METAL! After testing the waters in other bands, members Dan Doyle(ex Namaste). and Tony Ahearn(ex Aspire to Fall) wanted more. Knowing that the drummer was going to be a very important roll in this project, Pat (ex Stemcell) was called upon to fill the duties of the drums. Very soon after the slot for vocals was filled by JT. Tony Rheeder currently plays bass for Before the Fire. Collectively all the current members were previously members in local Muskegon bands such as Nineside, Namaste, Aspire To Fall, Stemcell and Ajera.
