Begin jaren tachtig waren The Misfits met hun punk met een metalrand hun tijd ver voorruit. Zonder The Misfits mogelijk geen Metallica, om maar eens een bandnaampje te noemen. De vraag is of The Misfits sinds het vertrek in 1984...

Following in the footsteps of a number of legacy artists looking to connect with a younger audience, Dr. John tapped Black Keys guitarist Dan Auerbach to produce his latest studio album, Locked Down. The album, which will hit stores on April 3 via Nonesuch Records, was recorded at Auerbach's Easy Eye Sound in Nashville and features a number of young artists handpicked by him to play alongside the Night Tripper . As part of the promotion for the album, it was announced that Mac will play a three-weekend residency at the Brooklyn Academy of Music [...]
![[Listen] Wavves - "Hybrid Moments" (Misfits Cover)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3986517_lg.jpg)
Ahhhhh what a way to start off a glorious Friday. Nathan Williams AKA Wavves has let loose a cover of the Misfits' "Hybrid Moments" and it's a fuzzy scream of goodness. He put the song up via his Twitter page and the results are a heavily distorted fuzzed out hat tip to Misfits. See for yourselves below. Let's have some more material from the King of the Beach again this year. That'd be great. Wavves - "Hybrid Moments" [...]

Dopo "100%" dei Sonic Youth Nathan Williams aka Wavves pubblica su Twitter un'altra cover. Questa volta si tratta di "Hybrid Moments" dei Misfits . Ascolta e scarica l'MP3 [ via Pitchfork ] : Wavves - Hybrid Moments (Misfits cover) MP3: Wavves - Hybrid Moments (Misfits cover) pubblicato su Indie For BUNNIES

Posting a download link on his twitter, Wavves man Nathan Williams has shared his take on Misfits track 'Hybrid Moments.' Recorded as "an ode to the band", the ramshackle cover version played on an out of tune guitar can be heard below.
At some point, pretty much every American punk band has to cover the Misfits. It's practically a requirement. My own high school band only played two shows, but we still found time to put together a "Last Caress" cover. And we might've also done "Teenagers From Mars" too? I forget. Anyway, Wavves have just gone through that particular rite of passage. Nathan Williams posted a lo-fi, clappy rendition of " Hybrid Moments " on his Twitter "as a tribute to the band," and you can download it below. Read More...
As he's done so in the past , Wavves frontman Nathan Williams recently took to Twitter to deliver an homage to one of his punk idols. This time around, Williams dialed back the time machine to rework The Misfits' "Hybrid Moments". The end result sounds distinctly like old school Wavves, with a simple structure and loads of feedback and distortion. It's perhaps not as hard-hitting as the original, but Williams' stoner touch makes this worth a spin or two. Check it out below. Wavves - "Hybrid Moments" (Misfits cover) [...]

Last year I mentioned Misfits, the awesome British series about five young delinquents who mysteriously acquire superpowers.

A great feeling of inferiority after being directed to Bobbylondon 's Hamburger Eyes podcasts was part of what delayed a December Hearsay mix. The other part was the need to spend the few non-working hours I had with procrastinations that are even less productive than the time that I spend putting together mixes for this site. There has been so little released this year that really caught me, it kinda follows that I would put together this collection of 19 temporally thematic songs. In fact, I'm not sure that I can put together a "best [...]
The horror punk legend will hit the road in February....

Metallica recently celebrated their 30th anniversary with some special friends.
Bay Area Buddies Green Day cover the Misfits' 'Hybrid Moments' in honor of Metallica.

This year, Metallica turned 30 years old. They're old. Fellow Bay Area associates Green Day - who also have some years behind 'em - decided to pay homage to the heavy metal rockers by issuing a cover version of Misfits' "Hybrid Moments". Tucked away inside a hoodie, a bearded Billie Joe Armstrong offers his trademark snarl to the Misfits' anthem, and not surprisingly, it sounds just like a regular Green Day track. By the way, does anyone else dig Mr. Dirnt's long 'do? Choice cut, pal. Originally, this cover premiered as an Idiot Club exclusive a couple days [...]

The fans, the fans, the fans. It's who all bands take the time to acknowledge. At concerts, artists will always shout out partially histrionic statements like, "We couldn't do this without you...the fans!" And as a result, every fan's devotion soars through the roof (if not eternally). It's somewhat silly, though, not to realize that the fans do make everything possible. People like bands, so they buy their records, see their shows, sometimes blog about them (hey there), "Like" their Facebook pages, live chat with them on Twitter, and on super-rare occasions, even get to meet them . It's [...]

Sembrava quasi impossibile ma è arrivato il tanto sospirato, atteso, dibattuto, più volte rimandato album dei Misfits . Si, perché parlare di canzoni inedite (come dicono i professionisti) del gruppo di Jerry Only è ormai diventato un evento più unico che raro. Il roccioso e imponente frontman aveva fatto venire l'acquolina in bocca ai fan descrivendo il nuovo lavoro come "il più pesante" da un po' di tempo a questa parte. "The Devil's Rain" arriva nel periodo giusto, quello di Halloween, ma è inspiegabilmente avaro di brividi. Sarà che nel nuovo millennio nessuno ha [...]
