Moistboyz is an American hard rock band formed in New Hope, Pennsylvania in 1991 by Guy Heller and Mickey Melchiondo. Moistboyz music is typically fast-paced punk/metal, combining stream-of-consciousness lyrics with aggressive rock guitar riffs. The band's current touring lineup includes Stephen Haas (guitar), as well as Mondo Generator rhythm section Nick Oliveri (bass) and Hoss Wright (drums).
As in Melchiondo's band Ween, both he and Heller assume aliases: Mickey Moist and Dickie Moist.
Moistboyz have released five studio records starting with the 1994 EP Moistboyz. A full-length album, Moistboyz II, followed in 1996. Recorded by Heller (vocals/lyrics) and Melchiondo (guitar/music) using drum machine and a lo-fi sensibility, both records were originally released on the Beastie Boys label, Grand Royal. In 2005, these first two records were combined and released as one album, Moistboyz I+II] on Sanctuary Records, now on Chocodog Records.
In 2002, Moistboyz III was released on Mike Patton's label, Ipecac Records. This is the first Moistboyz record to feature songs with real drums, performed by Lou Croschetti.
Hey
Forget about the plans you make
Think of all the things you hate
Don't look behind you turn the page
Get a pair and act your age
I think the wolf is at the door
Got the face of civil war
See the lights inside your mind
But I'm prepared to fuckin' die
The full moon on the rise and the story in the east
The hair of the dog or the mark of the beast
Police at the door and a fire in the sky
The year of the maggot is a good time to die
Hey
Cut down the king if you dare
Hang him in the village square
All the people stop and shout
You'll never put the fire out
Fuck you and your credit cards your dna in hand
Stick your nazi fingers up your pussy pinko ass
Freedom thoughts and bullshit plots that ain't no fuckin' lie
The year of the maggot is a good time to die
Hey
This is no time to hesitate
Get off your ass and don't be late
Grab your boots and load your guns
I know I'm not the only one
The full moon on the rise and the story in the east
The hair of the dog or the mark of the beast
Police at the door and a fire in the sky
The year of the maggot is a good time to die
Hey
