The Brood was a crossover thrash band from Venice, California featuring former members of Suicidal Tendencies and Neighborhood Watch.
The band started in 1984 when guitar player Jon Nelson and drummer Amery Smith quit Suicidal Tendencies to form a band with former Neighborhood Watch bass player John Flitcraft and guitar player Todd Moyer. Nelson took care of the vocal duties in The Brood with a little help from Moyer, who sang on a few songs.
The Brood recorded a demo and signed to Profile Records in 1985. They released their self-titled and only album on 1986. Soon after that, Nelson and Flitcraft quit while Smith and Moyer decided to form another band for which Moyer would be the lead vocalist and hired former Suicidal Tendencies bass player Louiche Mayorga. The band became Uncle Slam.
