The newest comp from the folks over at the World Horror Network is finally finished. The Horror Of It All, vol 2 is a two disc set containing 32 bands and is well over two hours of the best horror-punk from around the world (6 countries!), including the Spectremen. This has really shaped up to be a one of a kind set. Huge thanks to Shane and all at WHN for letting the Spectremen be apart of it. We'll let you know when they arrive.
For a complete track listing go here.

We've updated the pictures page to include the photos from Screamfest with some of the people who stopped by the table and from the Tales of the Spectremen, vol. 1 release party. We're still going through a lot of the film and will keep adding to them. Also check out the link for Cinema Insomnia, featuring Mr Lobo. He did a great introduction for the Spectremen set at Screamfest.
[Nov 21-]
The release party for Tales of the Spectremen was a blast. We really couldn't have asked or expected a better show. Thanks to all the people... and there was a ton of them.. for coming out. It was good to see our old friends.. and to meet all our new ones. Hopefully we'll see you all again soon.
We want to wish Jason a happy birthday. He friggin rocks and is one of the biggest reasons that Saturday was such a great night.

First, there is a new review of Dawn of the Day of the Night of the Living Dead ep up to be checked out. You can read it over on the reviews section or on Black Angel's page here. Also, while you are there, check out the interview Black Angel did with the Spectremen. Its by far the best interview the boys have ever had.
More as we get it.
[Oct 24-]
Screamfest was a blast, plain and simple. We hafta to start by thanking Petey and the folks at Screamfest, and especially to everyone who dropped by our table, got their pictures with the boys and ventured in to see the Spectremen play. It wouldn't have been half as fun without you guys.. And for those who signed the mailing list, the first batch of stickers are on their way. If you don't get yours, resend your address.
We'll probably have a special Screamfest page with all the pictures and who knows what else.. be patient, the pictures are on the way.
Get on over to the Myspace page and preview the songs from the new ep and check out the show journal from Screamfest.
[Oct 07-]
Some great press has been given to the Spectremen over the past week. Check out the piece in Access Atlanta and the great photo of Dan by Evil Jim.
[Sept 21-]
We have big news for all the folks who have been asking, emailing, all wanting news on a new Spectremen record. First off, we now can say there is not just one, but two new Spectremen releases coming in a few weeks. Here are some details.
Dawn of the Day of the Night of the Living Dead, will be a 4 song cd/ep that should be out Oct 8. This will be total preview for the upcoming album.
Tales of the Spectremen, vol. 1 will mark the first ever Spectremen vinyl release. This limited Spectre-green 7 inch will be available just in time for Screamfest. My suggestion is to get it quickly!
Just confirmed, the boys will be heading to Albany, GA on Oct 22. The venue hasn't been decided as of yet, but the date is cofirmed. The Spectremen will be reuniting with old friends, Kim and Hugh (Ex-Puddin, Julius Pleaser) and their new band, Gator. We add the details once we get word from the promotor.
Also, the boys will be doing an interview for Gravedigger Grimm on his Unearthed Midnight Theatre. We'll have the show dates and where you can see it when they come available.
[Sept 04-]
Just wanted to send out love and condolences to Bill's wife, Shanon, his family and friends for their loss.
Bill was killed in a car accident this past friday night. Toby, the original Sods drummer, was also in the car and is in ICU and expected to pull through.
Bill was not just a great guy, he was a friend and will be dearly missed.

[July 25-]
In a unfortunate turn, Mulligan's has decided cancel our show on Aug 27 with the Van Orsdels and the Defilers. Seems the club was double booked and since we were the second, we got the boot. We're are still trying to make the show happen elsewhere in town. Hopefully, I'll have more news in the next few days.
[July 02-]
New posts are up on the reviews page.
[June 28-]
The pictures from last Friday's show at the Star Bar have now been posted. Also, we added a picture of Evil Jim from last year's Dragon*Con.
[June 26-]
As always, we want to thank all the Spectremaniacs, both new and old, who came out to the Star Bar last Friday. The show was a blast both for the Spectremen set as well as for Agent Orange. There is a new show journal posted on our Myspace. The new pictures from the show will be up this week.
[June 03-]
Despite taking some time to let Jim get comfortable with the older songs and to write new songs for the upcoming cd, The Spectremen have decided to add a couple of shows.
[June 01-]
It has just been confirmed, the Spectremen will be playing this year's Screamfest in Coral Springs, Florida. Famous names like Tom Savini, Linda Blair, Dick Warlock, and Basil Gogos have confirmed among others and bands include The Independents, the Van Ordsels, Pyscho Charger, just to name a few. Check out the offical site for all the details and the recently added guests.
The entire weekend is only $20 and the Screamfest site has a great package deal.
[May 22-]
The Spectremen played an unannounced four song mini set during the Bitch show last Friday night to officially welcome Evil Jim in to the Spectremen. The show was a birthday party for Evil Jim, Dr Syn, Dave E. G., and a few others that I can't remember and saw the return of both Bitch and the Road Hawgs with lots of special guests. Thanks to Jim and to Bitch for sharing their time.
[May 13-]
Without going in details, we here at Spectremen Central want to send our
deepest condolences to Mickey and his family for their recent loss. Please,
along with us, keep him and his family in your thoughts and prayers.
[May 6-]
The
Spectremen are sadden to annouce that due to an unavoidable circumstance,
they are bowing out of the show in Nashville, May 21, at the Sweet Water
Supper Club.
The show will still take place, as the Lonesome Town Drifters, Creeping
Cruds, and the Massacres are still playing. The Spectremen were really
excited and looking forward to playing the show.
We do apologize and will see you all soon.
[April 26-]
There is so much news this week, we almost don't know where to start..
sooo...
Things should be all set and only waiting for the finished product. We'll
keep you posted on all the details.
Long time friend and guitar god, Evil Jim has joined the Spectremen
full time. Jim and the Spectremen have worked closely for several years,
both playing with Jim's other bands (The Evils, Bitch etc..) and appearing
at Jim's infamous Halloween shows. In addition, Jim has joined the boys
on stage several times, and filled at the benefit for Mickey in 2001.
For those of you who have been lucky enough to see Jim, either with the
Spectremen or in his own bands, you know why we are so excited to have
him aboard and have an idea for what's in store for the future.
The Spectremen are moving to a new practice space, so they should be back
to work very shortly. Not sure when the first show with Jim will be, but
as soon as he's comfortable, we'll set that up.. and have it here for
you first.
til next time...
[April 14-]
Don't forget that the Spectremen will be at Mulligan's tomorrow night,
April 15th. The
Screamin' Demons will also be playing.
Keep checking for updates.
We'll see you tomorrow night at Mulligans!
[April 2-]
First off, we want to thank everyone who came out last night to the Star
Bar. Extra special thanks to the Evils and the Unsatisfied. If there was
a show that had too much rock-n-roll, this just might have been it. It
is always a pleasure to share the stage with these guys..
[March 28-]
Coming
within the next couple of weeks, the Spectremen's debut cd, Man Made Monster,
will be available over at Crypt
Of Blood Records. Huge thanks to Travis and Crypt Of Blood Records
for making this cd widely available once again. Look out for a second
pressing of Rockin The Dead, which will also be sold through Crypt
Of Blood Records. The new pressing will have some new art, several
different songs as well as a few surprises.
[March 21-]
Two big new shows have been confirmed tonight. April 15, the Spectremen
will be playing Mulligans in Decatur, Ga. Also playing that night will
be the Screamin Demons and probably two others TBA.
[Feburary 28-]
HOLY
ROCK-N-ROLL ATOM BOMB!! The Spectremen will be joining the Evils for
a night of Rock-N-Roll Horror and Madness at Atlanta's Star Bar, April
2. The Evils are one of the best bands to come out of Atlanta, and this
reunion is looong over due.
[Febuary 02-]
Sorry
for the lack of updates and news for the past weeks, seems the JOHNNYTRON
5000 computer went all haywire. But we are back and better than ever.
First thing.. Congratulations to Stench and Andrea for their upcoming
wedding this weekend. The Spectre-crew will be flying to Las Vegas tomorrow
night for the big event. We all wish Stench and Andrea nothing but the
best and much happiness in the years to come.
[December 20-]
It seems that our less than gracious host of our videos has decided to
shut us down and give us the boot. There was no warning or anything, the
Imperial Lycos just left a note saying that our account has been terminated.
Never fear though, the video files have been moved and are already up
and running.. sorry for the down time. Just right-click and save as..
and enjoy.
[December 17-]
For those who have been asking, video downloads (Quick
Time format) are available! Thanks to Lazy Punk Video, five videos from
the farewell show last March are on the disco page for your viewing pleasure.
The songs are 50
Foot Woman, Dead By Dawn, Zombie Beach Party, Zombie Hop with
Stench's farewell Truffle Shuffle in the beginning, and a cover of Astrozombies. They are a little dark, but the sound is really good and definitely worth
checking out.
I believe we have some more footage that is being worked on. Hopefully
those will be ready fairly soon.
[December 07-]
Just wanted to let everyone know that we have added tons
of new mp3s over on the disco page. There is now a lot of hard to find
stuff off the first album, so feel free to enjoy these. We hope to be
adding some more unreleased stuff (live stuff, covers etc) in the coming
weeks.
If you haven't yet, get on over to our Myspace page and join up. The page
is much more successful that we ever could imagined.. so thanks to everyone
who has checked it out.
[November 08-]
First
off, thanks to everyone who came out to Mulligan's on Saturday. The show
was a blast and a near perfect way for the Spectremen to be turned loose
once again. The boys seemed like they never stopped, even debuting a thunderous
cover of The Damned's New Rose. Good to see that everyone remembered the
songs, even a few that we forgot about. Look for more shows in the near
future.
[November 01-]
For everyone in Georgia, the first show since March has now been scheduled.
Saturday, Nov 06, the Spectremen will have their comeback show at Mulligan's
in Decatur. The boys are headlining, but we're still waiting for details
on the rest of the show. We'll post the address, times, and all other
details as they come in.
[October 20-]
We are now up on Myspace.com, Soundclick.com, and building on PureVolume.com.
We're gonna try to have exclusive content on each page, including different
mp3s, as we go along. Its another way that we can connect with fans and
friends.. so check 'em out.
[October 05-]
Just a quick update on a few things... The pics page is up and running
now and new pictures sections are on the way. Also the mp3s are fixed
and working.. so feel free to enjoy those.
We're planning a few new things this time around. Possible individual
bio pages with features from the boys themselves.. (this oughta be interesting)
We'll keep you posted on all the things we have in the works...
[September 27-]
Hiya kids...
For the first time since the farewell show in March, all four of the Spectremen
practised together this past Sunday. Things went very well... and the
chances for the return of the Ghoul Rock Legends are looking very very
good.
