What do you get when you mix elements of ska, punk, horror, and Elvis? The Independents. That's right, the band that has kids everywhere saying, "Try it, Joey Ramone likes it" are back.

Joining them are Ramones cover band Rocket To Russia, Stay Hitt (who will be playing Misfits covers in full makeup), and The Van Orsdels and The Ramshackles as themselves.
