Brian Tutunick graduated from Coral Springs, Florida's J. P. Taravella High School in 1986. He went on to study cosmetology, graduating from that field sometime around 1989. When [[Marilyn Manson]] was attempting to form Marilyn Manson & the Spooky Kids, he was interested in recruiting bassist Jeordie White, better known as [[Twiggy]], however because White was playing bass for [[Amboog-a-Lard]], Manson did not attempt to persuade him. Instead, he approached Brian Tutunick, a friend from theater class, about playing bass for the band.

| − | In 1996 Tutunick, along with turntablist Grynch, formed a new band, [[Nation of Fear]]. The group recorded a song titled "Immortal" for a 9.49 WZTA compilation album, and later that year, they released their self-titled debut through DiMar Records. Nation of Fear went on to tour with Genitorturers and Lords of Acid, and like their tourmates, the band's live performances were known for such stage antics as S&M, power tools and pyrotechnics. After touring, the band returned to Fort Lauderdale where they recorded their second studio album, ''Everything Beautiful Rusts'', which, upon its release in 1998, received much more attention than their debut. Nation of Fear disbanded in 2000, after which Tutunick could later be seen on the weekly music show ''Feedback'', on PAX TV. | + | In 1996 Tutunick, along with turntablist Grynch, formed a new band, [[Nation of Fear]].
