“Calabrese’s sound has been compared to The Misfits, The Ramones, and a host of other acts in between. In reality, their unique ability to take burning hard edged rock guitar with crisp clean drums along with darker crooning voodoo vocals sets them apart from any current punk act. By sinking their fangs into their work and locking their jaws down, Calabrese’s stalwart approach combined with vampiric biting wit make them a force to be reckoned with on the horror punk sound stage.”
- Fangoria
Fueled by the cult success of "13 HALLOWEENS," "THE TRAVELING VAMPIRE SHOW" and “III - THEY CALL US DEATH,” CALABRESE plan to unleash a new album in 2012. Once the cover art has been completed, a contest to name the new CD will be announced!
"I think CALABRESE is one of the top Horror Rock bands I have heard."
– Blasko (Bassist for ROB ZOMBIE and OZZY OSBOURNE).
Born in Illinois, Davey, Bobby and Jimmy CALABRESE (actual brothers) relocated to Arizona. Inspired by legendary bands and the horror rock genre they loved, they turned off the horror movies and put down the comic books to start their own band in 2003. Bobby played guitar and Jimmy played bass in previous bands but Davey was new to playing drums. So through constant screaming and yelling Jimmy and Bobby tore Davey down into emotional scum and built him up as the drumming mad man he is today.
“CALABRESE is not just a band that is helping to keep horror punk alive, they're also helping to keep real rock music alive.”
-Eric Powell
Comic book artist and writer, best known as the creator of "THE GOON" for Dark Horse Comics.
CALABRESE attracts those who feel confused by the current state of popular music. With worldwide distribution through the Internet, CALABRESE are quickly converting an international audience. With consistent touring, classic song writing and a steadfast dedication to their audience, CALABRESE are forcing their way into the nightmares of helpless fans everywhere.
"Quite simply, Calabrese is the world’s greatest horror punk band and they’re coming to get you.”
– Brian Pulido
Writer / Creator / Director - LADY DEATH. EVIL ERNIE, and THE GRAVE
