Career

Career beginnings & Faktion: 1997–2010

In the late 1990s, before joining the band Faktion where he rose to fame, Dutton was in a band called Carb with fellow musicians he befriended in Denton, Texas.[ citation needed ] After attending the University of North Texas in Denton, Texas, in 2002 Dutton met Josh Franklin, Jeremy Coan and Jeremy Moore. Together, the four-piece band formed Faktion where his bandmates nicknamed him "Marshal 'Wolfie' Dutton" due to his shaggy hair and scruffy beard. Originally, Dutton was the lead singer until the band later recruited a fifth member, Ryan Gibbs, to come in and be lead singer; Marshal then took over as lead guitarist for the band. Dutton recorded and released his first EP with the band titled Make a Dent in 2004, which attracted the attention of Roadrunner Records, and the band was signed to their label in October 2004. Dutton contributed on every Faktion release, which after 2004's Make a Dent EP consisted of the 2006 self-titled debut album Faktion, [1] 2007's The B-Sides EP, [2] 2008's Ignite Whats Inside EP [3] and Crash Ashore EP, [4] along with the 2008 standalone singles "Best Goodbye" [5] and "Poison Ivy". [6]

With the exception of a few random live appearances in 2009 and a couple of tour dates opening for Hinder in 2010 on their "All American Nightmare Tour", Faktion remained relatively inactive, allowing the members to pursue other interests and take on new projects. However, in mid-2010, the unreleased new songs "Dead to Me" and "Miss You" were posted by the band via Faktion's official Facebook page. There are also many unreleased recordings during Dutton's time with Faktion that still remain unreleased. The unreleased Faktion track "Dead to Me" was initially recorded and released on then-Faktion singer Aaron Pose's band Admiral Grey 2012 debut album and the track was also re-recorded and released on Hinder's 2015 album When the Smoke Clears with Dutton performing on lead vocals. [7] As of 2022, a Faktion reunion is rumored to be in the works that will showcase new music and will see Ryan Gibbs return as lead vocalist, Marshal "Wolfie" Dutton on lead guitar, Josh Franklin on guitar, and Jeremy Blackstock on drums.

Throughout 2014, Dutton began work with Hinder for a third time, co-writing and producing songs for their upcoming album When the Smoke Clears . At the time, Nolan Neal was providing lead vocals for the album. [26] [27] [28]

Joining Hinder, Dangerous Hippies & Gunfighter's Delimma: 2015–present

On January 20, 2015, it was announced that Dutton had joined Hinder full-time to be their new lead singer, replacing Austin John Winkler and his brief replacement Nolan Neal who provided vocals on the single "Hit the Ground" which Dutton helped co-write and produce. [29] [30]
