Project 1950

Project 1950 is the sixth studio album by the American horror punk band the Misfits, released in 2003. It consists of cover versions of rock and roll songs from the 1950s and 60's and marks bassist Jerry Only's debut as the Misfits' lead singer. Except for Only, no members of the band from their previous album returned for Project 1950. The album cover artwork was done by Pennsylvania artist Tony Squindo. The liner notes include explanations from the band members about why they chose each particular song. Receiving generally positive critical reviews from publications such as Allmusic, the album became a commercial success and hit the No. 2 slot on Billboard's 'Top Heatseekers' chart as well as No. 5 on its 'Top Independent Albums' chart.
