Death Grips Biography
(formed in 2011) is an American experimental hip hop group, also dubbed industrial and noise hip hop. Known for shows of spontaneous destruction and musical improvisation, the band is from Sacramento, California, United States
Since the band’s formation in December 2010, Death Grips’ output has been prolific and quick to garner critical acclaim. Formed from rapper Stefan Burnett, also known by his stage name Ride, drummer Zach Hill, and producer Andy Morin, Death Grips recorded their debut single, “Full Moon (Death Classic)” on their first day together as a group. A month later, the mixtape ‘Exmilitary’ appeared as a free download and slowly made its way through the blogosphere, much to the band’s buzz.
In February 2012, Death Grips performed with Epic Records at the request of Angelica Cob-Baehler’s Vice President of Marketing. The band’s trademark debut “The Money Store” was released in April 2012 to critical acclaim following reviews from Pitchfork Media, Drown in Sound, and Allmusic. Aided by the singles “Blackjack”, “Get Got”, and “The Fever (Aye Aye)”, the album charted respectively on the Alternative, Heatseekers, Rap and Rock albums charts. Death Grips intended to embark on a thirty-date international tour, but to the disappointment of their fans and label, the band returned to the studio to work on their sophomore release.

The fruits of this recording period emerged as “No Love Deep Web” in October 2012. Self-released on file-sharing services via links posted from their social media accounts, the band was subsequently dropped from Epic Records. Like its predecessor, the album garnered strong reviews from critics and fans despite the graphic nature of the album cover, topping even BitTorrent’s “Most Legally Downloaded Music List” with 34,151,432 downloads. Following the release, Death Grips embarked on their promised world tour including shows in London, Paris and Sydney. During this time, the band also remixed Björk’s tracks “Sacrifice” and “Thunderbolt” for their “Biophilia Remix Series”.
In July 2013 Death Grips launched their label Third Worlds in partnership with Harvest and Capitol Records, releasing their fourth full-length album, ‘Government Plates’. Led by the single “Birds”, the album was once again uploaded by the band to several fire sharing sites, and received a vinyl release on Record Store day. The band released the “Fashion Week” soundtrack album in January 2015, the first record since Death Grips’ breakup in 2014. The double-length album “The Powers That B” followed in March 2015, and saw Ride’s vocals return to the band’s mix. The record features vocal contributions from Björk and was led by the single “Inanimate Sensation”.
