The Hazzardous Materiáles

One of the more popular Tasnican rock bands, the Hazzardous Materiáles got their start playing hard rock, but have since broadened their appeal by mellowing their style somewhat.

Jack Darling, the front man, is also the band's lead singer and lead guitarist. He's amassed a reputation as a ladies' man, given his handsome looks and generous natural charisma.

Ash Hooke is the bass player, and has a unique visual look while performing: his very long dark hair hangs free, and he wears a single white contact in one eye. Outside the band, he's a fitness beast, and has done photo shoots for fitness magazines.

Kyle Hennig is the dummer, and is called "K-Dog" due to the numerous pet dogs he keeps at home, a leftover from his childhood, growing up as the child of two vetinarians. He's an amateur artist, as well, and is known to frequent tattoo parlors, either giving or receiving tattoos.

Yonder Way is the fourth member of the actual band, and serves as their keyboardist and synth-man. The most erudite by far of the quartet, Yonder tends to wear a sleeveless tuxedo coat and white gloves while performing. Of the group, he is also the least likely to do solitary interviews.

The unofficial fifth member of the group was their friend Denton Strauss. A childhood friend of all four men, Denny had been their songwriter on their first two albums before drifting away from the band. Recently, after a long battle with pancreatic cancer, Denny committed suicide, influencing the band's more mellow recent style.
