Band History
Faktion's original lead singer Ryan Gibbs grew up in Newcastle, TX, population 505, and his high school graduating class totaled 14 students. It's the kind of town that loves its country music and tolerates little else. Ryan's mom, however, was a rock fan, and turned him on to Bon Jovi, Aerosmith and AC/DC. He can still remember his grandmother scolding him for listening to “devil music” when he sang along to “You Shook Me All Night Long.” Of course, now she's his biggest fan.
AC/DC proved to be a linchpin of sorts for guitarist-vocalist Marshal Dutton, too. One day in a music store, he spotted a guitar just like the one favored by Angus Young. His father had him work in the fields on their farm in Tulia, TX to help pay for the treasured axe.
Dutton moved to Denton to attend the University of North Texas. He teamed up with drummer Jeremy Moore, who moved to Denton from Lubbock (where he was in school) to join him in 2002 and began to write songs. Guitarist Josh Franklin and bassist Jeremy “Brink” Coan made it a quartet. The band played a few shows around town, but the foursome knew they were missing something, or more accurately, someone: Gibbs. He had it all: powerful vocals, deep, evocative lyrics, and a dynamic energy on stage. With his addition, the band became whole - it became Faktion.
In 2007, Ryan Gibbs left the band and was replaced by Aaron Pose, former lead singer for Paperface.
