Horrorpunk
 

How many horrorpunk fans do we have here then? Personally, I can't get enough of the stuff. Misfits, Frankenstein Drag Queens From Planet 13, Blitzkid, Black Eyes & Neckties, the list goes on and on. Does anyone else like horrorpunk or psychobilly for that matter? :]

The Reverend Horton Heat is a main mover-and-shaker of the psychobilly scene, and he is pretty awesome.

I like Psychobilly Freakout by Revernd Horton Heat. But I haven't heard anything else by him. Any suggestions?

there's a really good Horror Punk band the Horrorpops. They have a really hardcore sound and a female lead singer who is incredible.

I've got one of HorrorPops albums. I wouldn't really say they've got a "hardcore" sound, though I love their music none-the-less. Their lead singer is hot though. ;)

not hardcore

more psychobilly

but yes she's definitly hot

The HorrorPops are genuine psychobilly, no doubt about it. But that's not a bad thing in the least. They're still amazing, and there's a whole bunch of good psychobilly bands both new and old (On the latter of those two, check out the Deltas if you ever get the chance; they've got this nice twangy classic sound). Klingonz are an all time favorite of mine when talking psychobilly, though.

As far as the horrorpunk discussion itself goes, it's really impossible to even have one without mentioning the Misfits, who were so instrumental in not only laying the foundations of horrorpunk, but bringing it to the recognizable status it has today. Although admittedly I think a little of that is everybody and their brother picking up Misfits merchandise these days.

For horrorpunk fans though, I seriously suggest checking out The Wrath and The Ghouls, a couple of bands I've fallen for lately.

check out Festering Breed. Its a horrorpunk Project a friend of mine and i started.

What makes something horrorpunk oro psychobilly? Is it a kind of darker instrumentals and more halloweeny subjected lyrics? I knew the Misfits were punk but I didn't know there was this whole subgenre. I'm interested.

darker Lyrics sang over a sped up 1950's Rock and Roll riff pretty much describes horrorpunk, In my opinion. lyrics usually constructed around favorite horror films or a lot of the time telling a story of ones death usualy a past girlfriend.
I love horrorpunk, some of my recent intersts are The Epidemic and The American Werewolves, I reccomend them to anyone who likes bands like Blitzkid and The Misfits
