Although the Brigade’s inspiration comes from an eclectic mix of many artists and so many different types of music, their muse is more abstract. It could be said that the drug induced children’s programming of the early 1980’s, overexposure to video game soundtracks, and the years spent partying in the bowels of dead end suburban cul-de-sacs might have had an influence on their song writing. The final result are songs that range from drunken art-rock sea shanties, to juxtaposing moments of quiet contemplation with percussive assaults akin to the sound of a small army of wild animals taking back land that was rightfully theirs.

In December of 2007, the band gathered in the East end of Toronto to record their first EP with Ryan Mills at Sleepytown Sound (Born Ruffians, The Most Serene Republic, Fox Jaws) and was mastered by Ryan at Joao Carvalho Mastering. In their short time together BHB have played along side such internationally known acts as Handsome Furs (Montreal), Snowden (U.S), Forward Russia (U.K.), Ungdomskulen (Norway), and Land of Talk (Montreal). They have also played popular music festivals such as "Pop Montreal", "Canadian Music Week" and "North by North East".

Black Hat Brigade have just released the follow up to their 2008 EP. The newest installment, "Fathers", a collection of songs that meld tribal rhythms, nightmarish haunts, explosive dance parties and feel good shakers, within the sound of today's digital landscape.
