us about a new album organized by Misfits bassist
Jery Only called "Project 1950." The record will feature punk covers
of 1950s era classics. The band features Only on bass and lead vocals, Marky Ramone

pop-rock icon Ronnie Spector

backbone of punk has always been the 3-chord progression which was ultimately
inspired by classic rock and roll of the 1950's. I've always wanted to record
some of the music that inspired the Misfits to show fiends where it all began.
With this album...I will."

The album will be distributed by Rykodisc.
The modern day Misfits have started up an imprint called Misfits Records on Ryko.
One of the upcoming records on the label will be titled Osaka
