Grave Robber
“Be Afraid”
(Retroactive Records)

The undead live! This is Misfits a go-go all the way. In fact, far better than the zombie that is the Misfits of today. Grave Robber have it all from the punk metal riffs to the wailing choruses to the evil Elvis vocals courtesy of Wretched (vokills and shovel!!) that made the Misfits a classic band. Thankfully they’re more than a cover or retro tribute band with songs in their own right in ‘Schizofiend’ and ‘I Wanna Kill You Over And Over Again’ and a look that is more Skeletor than astro zombie! Countless bands have either covered the Misfits or had tinges of them but Grave Robber have jumped right in and taken that classic sound, modernised it with their own vision and in doing so have given it a new lease of life so be afraid, be very afraid indeed!
