Current Lineup
BT
Founding member, business owner, U.S. Army Soldier by day, and seasoned musician by night, BT has spent most of his life balancing responsibility with a relentless drive to create. While his accomplishments may be more visible today, the road getting here was anything but easy. Blue-collar roots as a roofer, bricklayer, and coal miner built a gritty foundation. The Army provided structure and direction, while earning an MBA sharpened the business sense to match his drive.
Through every chapter, music has remained the constant. Brandon’s musical journey began in his late teens and has taken him across the country, sharing stages with some of hard rock’s biggest names and performing for audiences of all sizes along the way. Today, he brings decades of experience, renewed purpose, and an unwavering commitment to pushing DangerU.S. forward and charting a course into unfamiliar territory with no intention of playing it safe.
Zakk
Co-founder of DangerU.S., Zakk is a lifelong performer whose passion for music runs deep. A true multi-instrumentalist, Zakk not only plays guitar, drums, and bass, but also produces and engineers the band’s music at Roadhouse Studios in Central Illinois…a space he brought to life to fuel the band’s creative output. A seasoned road warrior, Zakk has toured extensively across the country and gigged with some of the most iconic names in hard rock and metal.
Originally the drummer for DangerU.S., Zakk has since transitioned to guitar, bringing a fresh dynamic to the band’s sound. His shift in focus has elevated the band’s songwriting, allowing him to channel his creativity into crafting powerful, memorable riffs that drive each song forward. Whether behind the kit, on the fretboard, or at the control board, Zakk has an instinct for turning raw ideas into songs that are both heavy and intentional.
Tim (HehNous)
Sometimes the right pieces fall into place before you even realize you’re looking for them. When Zakk made the switch from drums to guitar, Brandon expected a long, difficult search to fill the spot. But as luck would have it, a mutual friend passed along their call for a drummer and almost instantly, Tim stepped into the picture. Not only was he interested, he came with serious credentials: a seasoned musician and Zakk’s former drumline instructor, bringing the kind of talent and connection that’s hard to come by.
Tim holds a degree in music and serves as the rhythmic backbone of DangerU.S., delivering a style that’s both technically sharp and creatively unorthodox. His background injects a level of precision and unpredictability that gives the band its distinct pulse. He doesn’t just keep time, he shapes the feel of each song, shifting seamlessly between power, restraint, and complexity to give the music exactly what the moment demands.
Bub
A dynamic and highly creative lead guitarist, Bub brings a distinct musical voice to DangerU.S. His instinctive approach to songwriting and arrangement has become an integral part of the band’s evolving sound, adding layers, textures, and memorable guitar work that elevate each song without overshadowing it.
Whether building atmosphere, adding subtle melodic elements, or delivering a tasteful lead, Bub has a natural ability to identify exactly what a song needs. His versatility, creativity, and commitment to serving the music have helped shape the dynamic and identity of DangerU.S., both in the studio and on stage.
Bash
Bash brings an undeniable energy to DangerU.S., combining skilled bass work, strong vocal ability, and a natural presence that commands attention. His playing has added new weight and dimension to the band’s sound, driving the rhythm section with precision while giving each song a deeper, more powerful foundation.
Equally valuable behind the microphone, Bash has a sharp ear for harmony and an instinct for finding the right vocal part quickly. His combination of musicianship, vocal versatility, and infectious energy gives DangerU.S. an added layer of power that can be heard in every song and felt in every performance.
