Misfits are an American punk rock band often recognised as the pioneers of the horror punk sub genre, blending punk and other musical influences with horror film themes and imagery. Founded in 1977 in New Jersey, by vocalist, songwriter and keyboardist Glenn Danzig,
Each incarnation of the Misfits has made use of horror film and science fiction film-inspired themes and imagery, with makeup, clothing, artwork, and lyrics drawn from B movies and television serials, many from the 1950’s through 1970’s. Musically the band is often recognised as kick off of the horror punk and psycho billy sub genres and have drawn from punk rock, heavy metal, and 1950’s rock and roll and rockabilly to inform their style.
Rolling Stone describes them as "the archetypal horror-punk band of the late 1970’s and early '80 s", and they are considered icons in punk music and culture
