Brad Worrell (aka Brad Goop, BradG)
In the early 90's Brad, with pal Eleanor Whitledge, formed notable NYC-East Village pop/punk band The Goops as the guitarist and chief songwriter. They released their first full length album on Blackout! Records in 1994. The band toured extensively through the mid-90's with bands like Rancid, The Offspring, Guttermouth, Garbage and appeared on MTV's Beavis & Butthead and the soundtrack for Kevin Smith's "Mallrats". They eventually signed to Warner Brothers/Reprise and released "Lucky" in 1996. "Vulgar Appetites", the video for the first single from the album, played on 120 Minutes and won an award for Best Music Video at the AICP Awards.
When The Goops disbanded, Brad joined what would become 'version 2' of another notorious downtown NYC band, Clowns for Progress. He produced and co-wrote CFP's second album, "Progress" for Last Beat Records. More touring ensued with bands like The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Spacehog, The Offspring, 22 Jacks, Swingin' Utters and The Warp Tour. Their music has also appeared in films, including Spencer Tunick's "Naked States".
Shortly after joining CFP, Brad met Robb Hart and formed the production team Locked. Together they have remixed a variety of artists including J-Lo, Usher, Jeannie Ortega, J-Kwon, Babyface, Faithless, The Butthole Surfers and Adema. Locked have also produced tracks for artists including Borealis, Mike Down, Y (Yoav), and numerous, original dance tracks of their own. They supplied sound design and scoring to Kevin Ford's film "Three Days" about Jane"s Addiction.
Locked is currently working on their first, full length album and Brad continues to write and produce music and work with artists on his own. Wearing the hat of producer and enginer, he's recorded Sean Paul, Ryan Adams, Paul Oakenfold and numerous indie artists. As the "Scuba" half of his partnership with Scuba/Look Music over the past several years, he has written and produced music and sound design for advertising clients including Coke, Panasonic, Minute Maid, and Casio.
