Wolfbrigade (formerly Wolfpack) is a Swedish crust punk band formed in 1995 by Jocke Rydbjer, Erik Norberg, Marcus "M. Psykfall" Johansson, Frank Johansen and the vocalist Tomas Jonsson (known for being part of the local crust punk band Anti Cimex).

Jocke Rydbjer and Erik Norberg had played in the defunct death metal band Obscure Infinity, and had talked about doing a new band mixing d-beat / crust with death metal, and had already done some demos (among them ”Enter the Gates” and ”Twisted Hunger”). Meanwhile had Marcus Johansson and Tomas Jonsson started talking about doing a band together since Anti Cimex had broken up and Marcus’ band Harlequin was about to. Since the town of Mariestad is small, the two camps soon found each other and decided to join forces. Frank Johansen from Obscure Infinity was then recruited to play drums.
