Mourning Noise

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mourning Noise was an American horror- and hardcore punk act hailing from Lodi, New Jersey, notable for drummer Steve Zing. In action around the time of the Misfits, these horror ghouls were strongly influenced by the Misfits as the drummer Steve Zing used to live very close to Jerry Only and Doyle's house and Steve went to high school with Doyle. Their music is really fast and aggressive, while being slightly melodic. Very few releases by this band all being 7" singles apart from the 1998 album of greatest hits Death Trip Delivery released on Grand Theft Audio. Steve later went on to play for Samhain, Son of Sam, The Undead, Chyna and his current band Doomtree.

1980–1983 was the period the band lasted with lineups changing frequently and Steve Zing on drums the only permanent member.
