The band started back in August 2005 but at the time wasn't actually even a band. It began with Johnny recording in his basement by himself on all instruments and vocals which led to the release of the first album in October of 2005 entitled "How to Wake the Dead." This was only intended to a be a solo project just for the sake of Johnny wanting to get it out of his system but when his friend (x-band member Mark E. Mortal) suggested that he put together a band, he decided to do so with some of his close friends who he had grown up with and been in other bands with previously.
The early stages of the band were very reminiscent of The Misfits & Samhain but as they developed as a group and as Johnny developed as a song-writer, they would eventually stray quite a bit from their roots but never completely. Each album released after "How to Wake the Dead" were stepping stones leading up to how they would eventually sound. There was the self titled album released in 2006, "Calling All Monsters" released in 2007, "Some Things Are Better Left Undead" released in 2008, and "Monsterpiece" released in June of 2009.
The band has since played with such acts as The Misfits on multiple occassions, Gotham Road, Michale Graves, Blitzkid, Gorgeous Frankenstein, Doomtree, Sponge, and others.
Johnny B. Morbid currently has 5 Full-Length CD's (How to Wake the Dead, Self Titled, Calling All Monsters, Some Things are Better Left Undead, and Monsterpiece) available for purchase at shows or through this website as well as CDBaby.com, Interpunk.com, and iTUNES. T-Shirts, Posters, Stickers, Buttons, Hoodies and Monster guitar picks are also available.

Dude, that would be awesome if something came out of that. That's really what the Msifits need is a killer vocalist and some strong new material. I mean, its been how amny years since they release NEW stuff and all they have are those TWO songs?
So, you think the Misfits will ever get an actual singer again? I think those new songs they got wouldn't be too bad if Jerry wasn't so diluted into thinking he is an actual vocalist. When are YOU joining the Misfits?
