Biography

Sacramento, United States (2010 – present)

Death Grips are an group formed in Sacramento, California in 2010. The group consists of Stefan Burnett aka MC Ride (vocals) and the production team Zach Hill and Andy Morin aka Flatlander. Their live setup consists of Burnett on vocals, Morin on keyboards, and Hill on drums.

The group officially formed December 21, 2010, and released its first single and video for “Full Moon (Death Classic)” on March 8, 2011. On April 26, 2011, they released their debut album, the mixtape Exmilitary. NBCNewYork.com called it “an intense, dark listen.”

On February 27, 2012 Death Grips signed with Epic and released two albums the same year. The first official album, The Money Store, was released on April 24. Music videos were made for the singles “Blackjack,” “Get Got,” and “Fever (Aye Aye).” The track “Lost Boys” was also released alone with no video accompaniment.

After a month and a half long ARG involving the deep web, and a spat with Epic over its release, Death Grips leaked the album No Love Deep Web on its website on October 1st, 2012. This resulted in someone closing down the band’s website. The band said it was done by the label which the label denied shortly.

    Last.fm recommendations are shit, i think everyone who use last.fm know this. Use tastekid if you want to get more accurate recommendations. It is still far from being perfect but its algorithm ismuch better than last.fm's

    Guys, it doesn't matter if Dalek isn't that similar to Death Grips. Dalek is still more similar than fucking Animal Collective of all things.

    "Death grips has the most irrelevant similar artists i've ever seen" Not really when similar artists are made by what kind of demographic listens to an artists. For Death Grips, it's mainly hipsters......which is why the similar artists are what they are.

    I think it's hilarious how AnCo is listed as a similar artist.

    I like how this time they didn't even include a Boston date to cancel the day before. At least there isn't any hope to be crushed by this tour.

    clipping is terrible so they should be similar artist just coz of how horrible both of them are

    common artists should be something like Clipping, Dalek, Hella (because of Zach Hill), Autechre. in my opinion.

    I'd say clipping should be a similar artist here. They're not actually THAT similar, but they're a hell of a lot closer than fucking Mac Plus

    The similar artists are determined by the most common artists among listeners. Since most people who listen to Death Grips also listen to Macintosh Plus, AnCo, etc., they end up as similar artists even though they're not stylistically similar.

    Earl's mother listens to OF so you can't call all of their fanbase white plus a fag was part of it so it would be rude to make fun of them
