Horror Punk Prescriptions: Misfits
I can't believe the amount of people who still have not listened to the misfits, sure they've seen the famous skull logo - which is now used by skate and surf brands for that authentic "punk" edge - but they've never actually listened to the band, or if they have it's their much lamer new stuff where they started going into some strange hardcore-metal style.
The real misfits lasted from 1977-1983 and were lead by the man Glen Danzig (who later went on to form his own band: Danzig). In my opinion I think their best album is Static Age, followed closely by Walk Among Us.
both these albums have the signature howling vocals that Danzig is famously known for, as well as lyrics about cult-horror films and actors.
Be sure to check out this video-clip for the song Hybrid Moments. It's grainy, black and white picture of horror films combined with the distorted haze of punk, power chords makes this the paramount Misfits song and my personal favourite.
