Editorial Reviews

Don't be fooled by the by their female extertiors. These women aren't a neutered, sugar-and-spice version of the Misfits, and Hate Is Your Mistress isn't a watered-down collection. These femme fiends infuse these ghoulish classics with their own brand of devilock-banging passion.

The Misfits are one of my favorite bands. Amazing lyrics and intense thrash music, what a perfect blend. In general I think some tribute bands are interesting or even good, so I kind of had high hopes for Ms. Fits. While the band is kickin, the vocals are weak. In all fairness, it's impossible to compete with Glen Danzig... but this singer is pretty bad. With a good lead vocalist, Ms. Fits might be worth checking out. The singing on Hatebreeders and Green Hell is awful to be blunt. I'm not sure if by the end of the CD I get used to it or the vocals improve slightly but the stronger cuts are toward the end of the CD in Angel.... and Astro Zombies. Those are the highlights. The lowpoints are more frequent. It's a shame because the band has the cool factor down- they have Misfit-esque stage names, they have a good look, and like I said the band musically is tight. The vocals pretty much make it a difficult listen for me though.

Just adding a female singer doesn't make doing an album of covers worth while. They may be fun live, but if you're not gonna add your own twist to the songs (sorry, a different gendered vocalist doesn't cut it), why try to repackage and sell an album of songs that were done extremely well the first time??

For an example of a really good Misfits cover with a twist, look for Idiot Pilot's version of "Hybrid Moments". Their style might not be your cup of tea, but at least they put some effort into making the tune their own.

Misfits are an amazing band, Ms. Fits needs to start a real band get some talent and stop mocking the Misfits.
