Misfits (band)

"Bonfires burning bright, Pumpkin faces in the night. I remember halloween! Dead cats hanging from poles Little dead are out in droves"

"They called us walking corpses Unholy living dead. They had to lock us up Put us in their British hell"

"The corpses all hang headless and limp, Bodies with no surprises And the blood drains down like devil's rain, We'll bathe tonight."

"All I wanted to say and all I gotta do Who'd I do this for? Hey, me or you?"

"I got somethin' to say I raped you mother today, and it Doesnt matter much to me As long as she's spread"

"It’s impossible to overstate the influence of the Misfits’ horror punk image on AFI, Alkaline Trio, My Chemical Romance, and basically any other goth-inspired punk band who hit it big in the ’90s and ’00s, but the influence of the band’s music was arguably even wider than that of their image. They had plenty of songs that sounded as evil as the band and their iconography looked, but at least half of 1982’s Walk Among Us predicted the exact sound of the pop punk boom. [...] It’s hard to think of a major punk band who haven’t covered the Misfits at some point, and it’s easy to see why all these musicians are so fond of them. Without their influence, the ’90s/’00s punk explosion wouldn’t have sounded the way it did."
