Brian “Bee” Frank grew up in Toronto on the records of the late sixties and early seventies — Bowie, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Uriah Heep — and by 1977 was fronting Rapid Tears in the same club scene that produced Anvil. The band’s early-eighties vinyl — Operation Airlift, Headbang, the album Honestly and EP Cry for Mercy — circulates today as collector material.

A 1985 studio session in Toronto introduced him to Swedish musician Anders “LA” Rönnblom, and in 1990 Frank moved to Sweden for good. Together they founded Killer Bee: three albums in the nineties (including World Order Revolution with Kee Marcello of Europe), a show on Moscow’s Red Square in 1992, and — after a comeback in 2011 — seven further releases, a nine-week 40-city North American tour in 2015 with Paul “Tonka” Chapman (ex-UFO), and a UK tour in 2017. On the later records Frank is credited as producer, engineer and mixer as well as vocalist.

In 2022 he formed Syndicated Madness with multi-instrumentalist Pelle Karlsson — the album It’s Not The End returned him to his early-seventies roots. In February 2026 came the record that puts his own name first: the EP Chasing The Dragon, credited “Brian Bee Frank & Syndicated Madness”, met by an international wave of indie press — summed up by Plus One Reviews as “A Lifetime of Truth in Every Beat”.
