I bet you thought this blog was dead. Well, it isn't. It's... back from the dead. Bwahahaha.
I know, it's been too long. Anyone that used to read this is probably worm food, by now. That's okay. I am still alive and kicking. And in honor of Quarantine-o-ween, where a bunch of Halloween freaks decided to parry in the midst of the Coronavirus apocalypse, I decided to... resurrect my little blog.
You ever notice how much Spring feels like Autumn? There are some days in which you can hear summer whispering to you, like it's right on the other side of the door. But other days are like September gold. What's funny is that I have often found little gems for my Halloween playlist for the dead right in the middle of the season when everything is coming back to life.
That's the case of a little song called: Go-Go To The Graveyard; a song my brother introduced me to one warm April day, back in 1999...
Before we even talk about the song and the band behind it, I have to play it for you:
So, yeah. These guys were crazy good, live.
I dig this song for a couple of reasons.
Number 1: It rocks
Number 2: The organ
Number 3: It is short
Number 4: It is scary
It is a perfect addition to any Halloween playlist and fits right in with The Monster Mash and the Timewarp.
Join us next time as we delve deeper into another ghoulish delight. Until then, stay spooky, my friends.

Yeah. That's the stuff. Short and sweet. It's got this killer guitar hook with a sweet retro organ driving the melody. The lead singer's voice is harsh enough to fit the genre but holds a tune enough to not be grating.
The Deadlines were a Tooth and Nail band from 1998-2002. They started off strong with this Horror Punk style. Their other stuff was, unfortunately, a little more Glam than horror.
When the band was Horror Punk, their stage show was crazy. They lit their gear on fire and juggled swords. Lead singer, Shaun Sundholm (who sometimes went by the name Shaun Coffin) had a manic, crazy energy about him.
What's that? You'd like to see what a live show was like? Okay. Here are a couple of examples:
