"It started as a twisted dream"... in a small town in New Jersey. It was there in 1977, at the dawn of the punk movement, that the Misfits were born. Founding member Jerry Only & company set out to make an impression. They wound up making history and creating a legacy-a legacy who's power stood the test of time, and transcended into an entire new generation. Throughout their career the Misfits audience has developed into an army of "Fiends" generating more interest today than ever before.
From its inception the music was primitive punk rock, harsh, to the point. Yet that aggression was complimented with a strong sense of melody inspired by the roots of rock and roll bred in the 50's. That tradition continues in the Misfits, even today.
"We've survived over 25 years now," Jerry Only reflects. "Maybe 50 years from now people will still be playing our albumsŠ because we don't water down what we do."
"When it comes to Strings, we use only the best... the crunchiest strands of steel ever produced - Dean Markley strings! Dean feels the same way about his strings as we do about our music... make the very best you can make and people will always come back for more." |
