EARLY LIFE PERSONAL LIFE Despite having written several songs with religious themes, most of them being against it, Brock describes himself as "not really religious at all" and that "I'm 100 percent on the whole Christianity thing being a crock of shit, pretty much." He claims to "toy around with the whole Biblical thing, just as amazing characters." He has addressed his substance abuse in the song "The Good Times Are Killing Me", and says that most drugs are "just something I kind of have to fight... I just try and make sure that it's not around, or I'm not around it." Brock is currently engaged to Naheed Simjee. The two plan to marry in the Fall of 2007. GLACIAL PACE In October, 2005, Brock started his own record label called Glacial Pace. The label is a subsidiary of Epic Records , Modest Mouse's current record label. Its first signing is Minnesota Singer-songwriter Mason Jennings . Naheed Simjee, Brock's Fiancee, is the current General Manager. ACCUSATION OF RAPE DUI, ATTEMPTED MURDER CHARGE AND JAIL TIME In various interviews Brock stated that he served a 10 day stint in jail in Niagara County, New York on an attempted murder charge related to a DUI incident in Oregon. According to Brock, he was driving along when he was passed a whippet of Nitrous Oxide . When he tried to inhale some, he lost control of the car and crashed it. During the crash his friend dislocated her thumb, which meant, under Oregon law, that because the injury was sustained due to a DUI, the charge was elevated to attempted murder, "which looks pretty bad on paper."http://arts.guardian.co.uk/filmandmusic/story/0,,2029089,00.html In his interview with ''The A.V. Club'', Brock described his short jail time: Later, charges were pressed and he was accused. REFERENCES EXTERNAL LINKS |
