Neophobia was a youthful traditional-style straight ahead thrash metal band from Sydney's western suburbs; the band's first album was recorded while several of the boys were still at school. The line-up at this stage was Mitchell, Howard, Chad Bartosik (drums) and Jason Callaby (guitar). Neophobia's music at the time was raw and under-developed but evoked comfortable similarities to the work of Megadeth. Shortly after the release Grahame Goode joined the band and soon afterward Howie replaced Callaby. International supports in 1994 and early 1995 raised the band's profile somewhat and the second album was a much more mature release, although suffered from a lack of really strong material. Mitchell left shortly afterwards, and the band continued with Matt Wright (bass) and Steve Barron (vocals) for some time until Goode left in the beginning of 1997 and the band folded. With a new drummer, the remaining members of Neophobia reformed as '''The Downside'''. Goode has since been a member of several of Sydney's more prominent metal entries including [[Deadspawn]], [[Automation]], [[Dark Order]], [[Infernal Method]], [[Dungeon]] and [[Killrazer]]. Callaby and Howard have since formed [[Hazmat]].
