In a Nutshell: My rock n' roll dream started when I was about 16-years-young. After releasing 13 full length albums, under various monikers and aliases, I wanted to expand my creative horizons and solder some of my manic metal musical musings together with a fictional book. Years of scribbling out lyrics, like a lawn gnome on a mushroom, made me quite versed in the art of wordplay and how to communicate through writing—yes, my tongue was firmly planted in my cheek. For those of you who don't know me, I can assure you, I won't allow myself to be taken too seriously. I love sea lions, rock n' roll, fall weather and suds with my friends—oh, and a good story! I attended Towson University and emerged with a Bachelor of Arts in journalism. Again, writing. So, to this day, I continue to tell the tale of a conflicted and often tortured spirit, bound by the conventions of a hypnotized society; always longing to fly, but often settling for McDonald's french fries and a hot fudge sundae and content to forget it all. Children of the Program is my wings. I hope to someday find the courage to leave some of my hang-ups in a very dark place, maybe even a closet [sorry] - never to be opened again. For now, this is my Ark. Enter, if you dare... Love, Brad W. Cox
