Moscow Death Brigade

About

Moscow Death Brigade (MDB) is a band from Moscow, Russia, founded in 2007 under the name Hoods Up 495. They play what they call 'circle pit hip-hop' - a raw blend of hardcore punk, rap and electronic music rooted in the Eastern European anti-fascist and graffiti underground. Performing in ski masks, they grew from basement shows in Russia to a regular presence at major European festivals. Their fourth studio album, Radio Hope, was released in May 2024.
