Moscow Death Brigade is a band from Moscow, Russia that plays a mix of hip-hop, hardcore and techno. The band's music and masked appearance emphasize its stance against racism, sexism and homophobia. The band does not consider itself a political band and claims that their views are just "human". The band was founded in 2007 under the name Hoods Up 495. The members come from the hardcore scene and have worked with among others, the punk band Razor Bois and the crossover band Siberian Meat Grinder. Common to all members is a fondness for the hip-hop of the 80s / 90s like the Beastie Boys, Cypress Hill, or the Transplants and an anti-fascist attitude. After renaming they changed to their current style to connect aggressive rap with guitar-heavy hardcore beats, followed a year later by releasing a second self-titled demo tape with three songs.
