Music from The Misfits TV Show
88
What is The Misfits?
The Misfits is a British TV Show that has just finished it's Second Season. The soundtrack and music from the show contains a really great collection of songs.
The show itself is an original and fresh take on the super power genre. Personally I think it is brilliant, but whenever I try to tell people about it they say, "Oh, so it's like Heroes then?". No. It's nothing like Heroes. Comparing it to Heroes is like comparing an american college grad with a UK football hooligan. The Misfits is Heroes on crack without the polished to perfection characters and the big budget. But trust me, all of this is in its favour.
I cannot highly recommend the show enough if you enjoy shows from the UK. But let us get to the real reason for this Hub. The Music...
The Soundtrack...
Having watched both Seasons of the show, I could not help but notice how great the music and the selection of songs was, and that is what inspired this Hub.
So if you were watching The Misfits like me and thinking, "Oh, this song is great!", then never fear, for I have compiled all of the songs for you into one neat Hub.
The tracks are listed below in episode order & in order of when they are played in the episode. The Song/Band is shown as: “Name of the Song” – Band Name.

Thanks! Google search brought this as first link. I will now head to Amazon and pick up a few of these.
Thank you so much for this list!!!
Definitely the music is excellent!
I couldn't agree more with you on the Heroes vs Misfits subject.. I don't even try to explain to people anymore..
We can make them watch the show if we tell them about the music though... ;)
God, you're a life saver! I've had a song from series 2 episode 1 stuck in my head for a week now and couldn't figure out what it was. Thanks for posting this.
Well organized piece of work,thanks for sharing.
Towards the end of the last episode of series one, when they are 'gearing up' and selecting their 'right kind of tracks', well i could only pick Kraftwerk - Radioactivity on Simons ipod. Anyone know the other two? Good work on the list to btw.
I could hear the song "Hollow Inside" by Chantelle Tibbs on the Misfits...http://www.reverbnation.com/chantelletibbs
how do you suggest songs for a TV show?
This must have taken a good deal of time and effort, and I really appreciate it. Thank you!!!
Thanks for sharing. I had the same thought, but hopefully I found your compilation first. Great job!
Start a new list for Season 3?
There's this song in the scene where Alisha is telling Simon that she's 'not that person anymore' after a run-in with Rudy at the pub. I'm trying to find out what the name of the song is...
Does anyone know the song being played at 32:30 into the first episode of the third season when they are talking about Alisha being a cock monster? Ive searched high and low and I still haven't found it. Tried shazam as well as googling it. Alas no luck.
This is sweet!!!! Thanks for compiling this list of music, I love this show and the music is fabulous!! Can't wait for the next season!
mmm maybe S 3 could be an option
When are season three songs coming out?
Amazing!! Thanks so much. You are my hero!
In season 2, episode 3, with the rising of the sun on the morning after future Simon and Alisha's first night together, there is an instrumental piece of music playing. Would you happen to know the origin of this music?
Thanks so much for the lists....a great help! Are you going to list series three?
