In the spirit of the season, THE KINGS examine an ominous outlier in MISFITS' discography.

THE KINGS attempt an INTRODUCTORY examination of a band everybody's heard of, but not everybody has ever listened to, and even fewer people have really REALLY listened to a lot .

Apologies for this incoherent episode summary, i just woke up .. .i think this episode is a fun one though - JAke Razor Website: KingsOfPunk.com IG: @koppodofficial
