The Misfits, founded in 1977 in Lodi, New Jersey, is an American punk rock band often recognized as having started the horror-punk subgenre and blend punk and other musical influences with themes and imagery from horror films. The band’s original lineup included Glenn Danzig (vocals, songwriting & keyboards) and Manny Marinez (drums). Later on, the Misfits were joined by Jerry Only (bass guitar) who would become one of two constant members over the next six years alongside Danzig. With an ever-changing lineup, The Misfits are still active today.
