THE
MISFITS
The
Misfits are a very cool band from Lodi, New Jersey. From the late 70s till
the early 80s they played some punk tunes about B-movies, monsters, and
the zombies. Despite the fact that they released a few singles EP and one
LP, they still managed to gain an impressive feedback from punks, rockers,
and horror movie fiends. Their cult never died, even after the band's demise,
fans continued to collect and exchange their rare, original singles as
well as bootleg recordings of live shows and unreleased studio sessions.
Head Misfit - Glenn Danzig formed the band Samhain, which evolved into
the band "Danzig" the band that was very popular in the late 80s and early
90s. Although MISFITS was mainly an "underground" band, it experienced
a revival of sorts when mega-metal monsters Metallica started wearing Misfits
T-shirts and playing their tunes in the mid 80s, exposing the band to a
whole new audience.
