About Me
Established 1986 in Richmond Virginia aka "fist city". Well actually it was established in late '85 early '86 can't remember which so we'll go with '86. MOSHING HOODS consisted of members of local Richmond bands and their close friends. Members included Taylor, Caine, Bill (all of whom were in Four Walls Falling at some point), Jason, Parrish, Jeff (from Set Straight), Patrick (who although not in a band did back up vocals all the time, and yeah Pat we still remember the night you got the nickname Cyclone), Sean, Chris, Mike, and Carl (all of whom were also on back up vocals all the time too). There were a few others that came and went, but that was the original members.
MOSHING HOODS was just a bunch of good friends sick of Nazi's, and other stupid people screwing up the Richmond Hardcore scene with all their bullshit at shows. There were fights here and there, but from '86 to about '90 the scene got really united. Props for that really have to go out to the bands, MOSHING HOODS, and our good friends the R.VA. SKINS (who by the way were real skinheads not nazi boneheads).
MOSHING HOODS kind of just faded out with time, along with the strong united Hardcore scene in Richmond. You still will see some of the HOODS at show's now and then. Normally they're the old guy that get's in the pit and all the sudden the whole pit is cleared. Keeping it real, that's what MOSHING HOODS was always about. Truth and Unity, by any means necessary.
