Brock was born in Helena, Montana. Brock was homeschooled for part of his school career. When his mom’s house flooded three times, she was made to move into her future husband’s trailer. Brock requested to stay behind in his own room before the brand new house was finished. He lived in the flooded residence before the house was sold. Following a little while of residing in a buddy ‘s cellar, he moved into the “Shed” constructed on the property alongside his mom and stepfather’s trailer. As a young lad he was raised in a Christian religious sect known as the Grace Gospel church, an affiliate together with the Branch Davidians. He told an interviewer from your Guardian newspaper which he was requested to speak in tongues when he was six: “I did not feel the nature of the Lord running through me,” he says. “I definitely felt ill at ease. I believed. ‘What is the most effective method to create this stop?’ Therefore I ripped off some words from Mary Poppins and said them quick, as well as the deacons are going, ‘Yeah, all right!'” It was there that he, Eric Judy (bass guitar) and Jeremiah Green (drums) first began practicing music together in the Shed.
