I love horror punk and wish the punk world would spawn more of it. And not psychobilly, but straight-up fun horror punk.

Luckily, The Horrifics have materialized from the ashes of the harder, more grind-like Eerie Ln. They have a silly name and image (no devil’s lock for these guys – they have bushy muttonchops and Wolverine hair), but silly names and images are what it’s all about, baby. Oh, and the music is awesome.

The Horrifics hit it on the head. With a sledgehammer. Fast, fun, 2-minute punk with nonstop group whoa-oh’s and guttural vocals that channel Elvis’ sneer. But most importantly, their songs are filled with 50s horror/sci-fi/kaiju camp, delivered in that wonderfully serious/angry way.

Too much like the Misfits? Sure, but why would that be a bad thing?

Bottom Line: 17 unrelentingly fun horror punk tunes.
Notable Tracks: Forever The Night, Go! Go! Godzilla, Dead Kidz, Fury of the Goat-Man, Shadowcaster
