Editor's note

Calabrese's hard rock with a dark edge

A Los Angeles band from the late '80s that built a following with songs about vigilantes and the living dead.

For their vibe, start with 'I Wanna Be a Vigilante'. 'Danger' is another good one that shows their straightforward rock side.

They weren't just another hard rock band. Songs like 'I Wanna Be a Vigilante' and 'Ride With The Living Dead' gave their music a specific, slightly theatrical darkness that connected with fans. That sound, captured on albums like 'Venomous' and 'Black Widow', defined their run.

They formed in Los Angeles in the late 1980s and released their debut 'Venomous' in 1991. The original lineup lasted through the '90s, but by 2010, after Jake Calabrese's departure, the band called it quits.

The band went through lineup changes over time, with Rivera leaving in 2001 and Wilson departing in 2005. Jake Calabrese left the group in 2010, and the remaining members decided to disband the band that same year.
