the Misfits – "Static Age Demos & Outtakes" Lp (red vinyl)

Horror punk pioneers The Misfits should be required reading for any fan of frenzied riffs, blood, sweat and tears on the dancefloor. Formed in 1977, straight out of New Jersey, the outfit managed six years - comparatively long in this scene - before disbanding for more than a decade. Static Age, released in 1996, marked the band's triumphant return with a serious statement of intent: what was still is, and always will be. Despite only hitting shops and ears at the beginning of The Misfits' second coming, Static Age is actually the first album they ever recorded, mothballed since 1978. As such, the record represents the troupe in all their youthful ferocity, teeth-clenched in a combination of rage, impassioned romance and ripped jeans. This collection of demos and outtakes proves the undulating power of their most raw, unpolished, off-the-cuff tracks.
