They had a short-term popularity in Russia because Russian MTV channel played their debut music video for the song Бетономешалка (means "concrete mixer", pronounced "be-to-no-me-shal-ka"). It is a song about an alcoholic worker, who got so drunk that he fell asleep in a concrete mixer and was accidentally eaten by his fellow workers. Their humorous imagery and extensive use of violent references have gained them some fame at the time.
Their subsequent videos and singles weren't as successful, and the band gradually faded into oblivion. It is widely regarded that they're still active and performing.

Дебош
Кувалда Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Попотешить себя и округу, пропустить кого-нибудь по кругу.
Мы сегодня злые, как собаки, мы погромы учиним и драки.
Эй, вы, каратисты и боксеры, прочь с дороги все – прячьтесь в норы.
Дебош, дебош
Алкоголики идут!
Мы алкоголики, амбалы, пятаки мы чистим, ставим фингалы.
Черепа, мозги мы сотрясаем, руки-ноги-ребра всем ломаем
Так всегда мы веселимся, а на утро снова мы опохмелимся.
Дебош, дебош
Алкоголики идут!
The lyrics of Кувалда's song Дебош describe the reckless behavior of a group of drunk troublemakers who go out to fight and cause chaos in their neighborhood. The word "дебош" translates to "riot" or "brawl." The first verse mentions how they have gone out to fight, having drunk enough vodka to get themselves fired up. They plan on taking out their frustrations on anyone who crosses their path. The second verse describes them as violent drunks who hit strangers and decorate their faces with blood. They revel in causing pain to others and break bones without any remorse. The final line of the song repeats the phrase "Алкоголики идут!" which means "The alcoholics are coming!" This reinforces the idea that the group is made up of irresponsible drinkers who act recklessly and destructively.
