Career

{{main|Faktion}}
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|date=September 2022}} 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,{{cite web | url=https://blabbermouth.net/news/faktion-parts-ways-with-roadrunner-records | title=FAKTION Parts Ways with ROADRUNNER RECORDS | date=November 14, 2006 }} 2007's The B-Sides EP,{{cite web | url=https://www.spirit-of-metal.com/en/album/The_B-Sides/107404 | title=Faktion : The B-Sides }} 2008's Ignite Whats Inside EP{{cite web | url=https://www.last.fm/music/Faktion/Ignite+Whats+Inside+-+EP | title=Ignite Whats Inside - EP — Faktion }} and Crash Ashore EP,{{cite web | url=https://sonichits.com/album/Faktion/Crash_Ashore | title=Crash Ashore {{pipe}} Faktion Lyrics, Song Meanings, Videos, Full Albums & Bios }} along with the 2008 standalone singles "Best Goodbye"{{cite web | url=https://www.iheart.com/artist/da-faktion-31379450/?autoplay=true | title=Da Faktion }} and "Poison Ivy".{{cite web | url=https://open.spotify.com/album/2VEpPHX7cjw0Y6ncj7swjs | title=Poison Ivy | website=Spotify }}
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.{{cite web|url=http://www.silencedead.com/page.php?id=400|title=Silence Dead - Faktion|work=silencedead.com}} 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.{{cite web | url=https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/faktion-faktion-2006-w-marshal-dutton-of-hinder/id1525444841?i=1000542175641 | title=Meep Meep Podcast: Faktion - Faktion (2006) [w/ Marshal Dutton of Hinder] on Apple Podcasts }}{{cite web |url=http://www.faktionband.com/ |title=FAKTION OFFICIAL WEBSITE - { w w w .
