The three brothers were originally raised in the rural town of Antioch, Illinois in a large family of Italian American heritage.

Jimmy Calabrese, the oldest of the trio, developed a fascination with horror and fictional monsters at an early age through a friend.

Jimmy recalled in his blog how after the violent suicide of a local boy, paranormal activity was witnessed and investigated by him and a group of friends via the use of a ouija board.

Though retaining their original punk rock sound, "13 Halloweens" displayed a foray into a more professional quality for the band that includes catchy melodies, AFI-like wails, heavier bass and drums.

The album features the artwork of Tom Bagley (of the Canadian rock band, The Forbidden Dimension) and Andrew Barr.

The music videos Voices of the Dead and Vampires Don't Exist were directed by famed comic book writer and film director Brian Pulido.

Voices of the Dead was shot at Collins College Studio in Tempe, AZ and premiered on March 1, 2007 at Chandler Cinemas after a live performance by the band.

[10] Bobby Calabrese has stated that the band was influenced by THE DEAD BOYS, THE STOOGES, The Damned, The Cult and MOTÖRHEAD a lot on this album.

Following in the footsteps of their last album, "They Call Us Death," the music of "Dayglo Necros" is hard, fast, and furious, and yet manages, at times, to keep the spirit and the "whoa-oh-ohs" of their earlier efforts, "13 Halloweens" and "The Traveling Vampire Show."

Containing elements of punk, blues, garage, goth, and straight-up rock and roll; Lust For Sacrilege doesn’t leave the familiar sounds of Calabrese.

[17] This album enters new territory inspired by Danzig, Black Sabbath, and Mastodon [18].Adding new instruments such as keyboards and synthesizers, Calabrese has been able to create a darker, heavier, and gritter sound enjoyed by old and new fans alike.
