MISFITS (BAND) FAMOUS MONSTERS

The misfits are an American rock band often recognized as the progenitors of the horror punk subgenere, blending punk rock and other musical influences with horror film themes and imagery. 
Founded in 1977 in Lodi, New Jersey by singer and songwriter Glenn Danzig, the group had a fluctuating lineup during its first six years with danzing and bassist Jerry Only as the only consistent members.
During this time they released several EPs and singles and, with Only´s brother Doyle as guitarist, the albums Walk Among Us (1982) and Earth A.D./Wolfs Blood(1983), both considered touchstones of the early-1980s hardcore punk movement. The Misfits disbanded in 1983 and Danzig went on to form Samhain and then Danzig.
Several albums of reissued and previously unreleased material were issued after the group´s dissolution, and their misic became influential to punk rock, heavy metal, and alternative rock music of the late 1990s and early 2000s.
