Stephen Brodsky was born in
Boston,
Massachusetts and grew up in
Methuen, Massachusetts. He has cited
Slash as a major influence in his interest in the guitar. He played in his first band in middle school, a two-piece called Parasite that featured drummer John-Robert Conners. After the death of
Caleb Scofield in 2018, Brodsky began filling in for him at
Old Man Gloom's benefit shows and would become an official member of the band later that year. In September 2021 Brodsky joined the post-hardcore band
Quicksand for their live tour in support of their album
Distant Populations. In November 2021 he was a part of the first Converge
Bloodmoon release alongside
Chelsea Wolfe. After 11 years in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, Brodsky returned to Massachusetts. He is a regular contributor to the heavy-metal comedy series
Two Minutes to Late Night. ==Discography==
