Calabrese is a horror punk band from Phoenix, Arizona heavily influenced by The Misfits, AFI, Rob Zombie, Danzig, Samhain, horror movies, and Halloween.

Calabrese was formed 2003 in Phoenix. Calabrese is not only the band name but the last name of brothers Davey (Drums), Bobby (Guitar /Vocals) and Jimmy (Bass / Vocals). Calabrese combined Gothabilly looks, B-movie drive-in lyrics and a Death Rock sound. Calabrese has been described as "melodic, hook-laden, catchy, fun, horror-themed Rock with a Punk attitude." Blasko, the bassist for The Death Riders and Rob Zombie states, "I think Calabrese is one of the top Horror Rock bands I have heard."

Calabrese plans to release their next album in 2007, they were holding a contest for fans to name it. And the name was recently chosen. The title of their upcoming release will be "The Traveling Vampire Show!"

Distributed in the U.S., Japan, and through the Internet, Calabrese are quickly gaining an international audience.
