Press Reviews THE SPECTREMEN- Influenced by the likes of X, The Cramps, Naked Raygun, and Elvis, this killer Atlanta punk band blends high octane rockabilly and old school styles with frightening results. The new album, MAN MADE MONSTER, creeps and howls like hell.-FLAGPOLE- Athens publication, THE SPECTREMEN, I dare say, put the new equipment through its maneuvers pretty extensively with their loud, angsty punk-based sound. Coming across as something like The Misfits, old time punk and a bit goth, The Spectremen have been lovingly referred to as Ghoul-Rock with songs like "Frankenstein's Car," "Boyfriend from Space," and "Bury the Living." The evening was more akin to a comedy show than a concert although the music was indeed good. The boys and their over-dramatic antics had the crowd in stitches for most of the evening. Their singer drank straight out of a pitcher of beer all night long; their bass player could give the guys from Spinal Tap a run for their money on goofy rock and roll faces, and the drummer (donned "Stench Spectre") spent much of the night taking and making cracks on his physical appearance. They have a CD coming out next month - look for the review here. Bottom line on this band: ghoulishly fun.-STAR VOX, ONLINE ZINE, THE SPECTREMEN- Rockabilly tinged punk band following in the footsteps of the Misfits. If you've worn out all our Danzig era Misfits albums and still craving more, these guys are your best bet. If you're lucky, you'll catch the kickass cover of the "keep your hands to yourself" song by that underrated band, the Georgia Satelites.-WRECKING BALL, ATHENS/UGA ZINE, THE SPECTREMEN -- The Spectremen's punk/psychobilly makes them pretty unassailable critically. Their adrenalized tempos, shout-along choruses, and kitschy, horror movie imagery screams "plain old rock and roll fun." Of course the Hammer Films/rock axis has been made before (Alice Cooper, the Cramps, the Misfits et al), but that's hardly the point. Don't forget your Doc Marten's and fake vampire blood.
