Proost!: The Misfit Ramones



Formed in 2008 by the trio of Syam41 (Guitar/Vocals), Justin Ramone (Bass/Vocals) and Mizar "The Miz" Ramone (Drums), the Singaporean bred punk band are not just your typical covers band despite the nature of their name that is a combination of horror punks The Misfits and brotherhood bonded The Ramones although renditions of their songs have been sung in The Misfit Ramones gigs as a form of tribute to their main influences. Sounding like a clash between an upbeat cousin of Turbonegro and early NOFX other than their main idols, The Misfit Ramones combine catchy hooks with tongue in cheek lyrics such as Your Breasts Are Big (I'm Gonna Sue You), local matters (Saikang Warrior) and personal misfortunes (Bird Shit) to a vocal and loyal band of followers in every gig that they have performed. This year alone, they have made appearances at Home Club, the Fade Of Blackhole tribute to Metallica and their very own standalone showcase at Chapter 6 with an upcoming performance at J3 Studios on 31st July together with Malaysian punk band Toxic Toy. A laidback candour, easy to sing songs that will hit you faster than a sugar rush and a mission to have fun irregardless of the occasion, The Misfit Ramones will definitely be singing Hey Ho Lets Go until its Saturday Night!
