Growing up he had a fascination for late 19th Century horror and science fiction, before developing a love for exploitation cinema and post-Apocalyptic scenarios. In high school, he discovered rock music and eventually gravitated toward metal and punk as his music of choice. During the mid-90s he began a radio show on a local community station and began writing for various music magazines in Sydney, also creating his Loud music zine. The music website Loud Online is the continuation of that zine, and The Annex Radio Show continues to this day. Brian lives with his wife and two teenage children and continues to write about music. Aftermath is his first novel.view less
