There hasn’t been a new Misfits record in over a decade. This ten years of missing Misfits will come to an end October 4 when the band releases Devil’s Rain (produced by Ed Stasium who produced earlier Misfits efforts and two Ramones releases). The band started out in the late 70s and currently contain one original member, Jerry Only. But so what if the music is still good? And even way back when this was a band with lots of personnel changes!
But I digress. Young folks will not know this but the Misfits album, Walk Among Us, was a soundtrack to a certain creepy segment of a certain generation (“Man, I wore the vinyl on that OUT). The band had something in common with the Ramones; they wrote catchy, short rocking songs that, if you didn’t like one it didn’t matter. It would be over in about a minute and a half. Sure, they were never the Ramones, they were darker, they were less catchy, they had less of a sense of humor. Again, so what.
It sucks when bands tour around playing nothing but back catalog like they are Lynnrd Skynnrd. I am glad to see they are making new music.
They are also heading out, in support of JuiceheaD (with some headling gigs thrown in).
