Band founders Patricia Day and Kim Nekroman first met when Day's now-defunct band, the punk rock group Peanut Pump Gun, opened for Nekroman's psychobilly band, Nekromantix, at a festival in Cologne, Germany in 1996. Despite both belonging to the subculture scene of Copenhagen, Denmark, the two had never met before, but they became friends over their mutual interest in alternative music. The two would eventually marry.
Day and Nekroman decided to form a band where they could experiment with many genres outside of their normal bands, and decided to start by switching instruments. Nekroman taught Day how to play an upright bass, while she taught him how to play guitar. The two began auditioning for a drummer, with Nekromantix guitarist Peter Sandorff even being a possible choice. They eventually chose Niedermeier to drum, a friend of Day's and a member of the punk band Strawberry Slaughterhouse, and officially started HorrorPops in 1998. After touring for a while as a trio, the band recruited Niedermeier's old bandmate, Caz the Clash, as a second guitarist.
In 2000, Day recruited two friends, Mille and Kamilla, co-workers at the body piercing shop she worked at to act as go-go dancers for the band's live show. The group also recorded a 7 song demo for use in a press kit, but it was somehow leaked to the public, and resulted in two of the group's singles becoming club hits in Denmark. The group spent the next few years touring Europe, until 2003, when they began recording 6 more demo tracks. During this time, Caz the Clash became a father and left the band to focus on parenting. He was replaced by another Strawberry Slaughterhouse member, Karsten. Hellcat Records, Tim Armstrong's (of Rancid) record label, decided to sign HorrorPops based on their demos. The band was able to release a vinyl single in September 2003, and began a U.S. headlining tour.
The band's first full-length album, Hell Yeah!, was released in February 2004, but problems with getting work visas resulted in the band having to cancel U.S. tour dates. The band was able to make up for this loss via an opening stint for the Offspring in Europe. Mille left the band a short while later to go back to school, and was replaced with Naomi. The band soon relocated from Denmark to Los Angeles, California, resulting in Karsten departing the band to stay in Denmark with his wife. He was soon replaced with Kamilla's husband, Geoff Kresge, who had recently departed from the psychobilly band Tiger Army.
The band's second album, Bring It On!, was released on September 13, 2005.
The band's third album, Kiss Kiss Kill Kill, was released on February 5, 2008.

Misstake
HorrorPops Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It eats away on us, it feeds on my mistakes
Your satisfied smile, tells me its not all right
Like a father you watch me confess to all my lies
Did it again, I made a mistake
Your right now, aren't you satisfied
So maybe you were right
Maybe I'm not worth the fight
You being right is not always that nice
I wish we had the nerve
To be as we were
I wish I could find the root to all good
The lyrics of "Misstake" by HorrorPops conveys feelings of guilt, regret, and shame. The first stanza talks about a mistake that has consumed the relationship, and it's feeding on all of the singer's mistakes. It seems like the mistake has caused a rift between the two people in the relationship, and one can assume that it probably is a major issue. The second stanza portrays the singer's partner as someone who's upset about the situation and doesn't seem to be forgiving. The partner watches the confession like a father, but the satisfied smile means he/she isn't satisfied with the apology. The chorus brings out the significant other's need to be right while the singer regrets the mistake and longs for things to be as it was.
In the third stanza, the lyrics express the singer's self-doubt as it seems like the singer feels unworthy and incapable of maintaining the relationship. The fourth and final stanza of the song intends to find a solution to the problem. The singer yearns for a solution, an answer to the mistake that has caused all this trouble.
