Zombie Slumber Party formed in 2005 with Joey Rubenstein on vocals and guitar, Valerie Gentile on bass and vocals, and Matt D'Orazio on drums and vocals. They shared an interest in horror films and post-apocalyptic themes, which shaped their sound from the start.
Their debut album 'Brains Wouldn't Hurt Either' came out in 2009, followed by 'This Is Our Last Stand' in 2012 and 'The Devil Went Down to Asbury Park' in 2015. The song 'Brains Wouldn't Hurt Either' drew some attention for its zombie-themed lyrics, though the band generally kept to themselves about such reactions.
D'Orazio left the group in 2010, which led to some changes in how they approached their music. They kept writing and performing, with songs like 'Just Try And Kill Me' showing their continued interest in dark, playful themes without much concern for fitting into any particular scene.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
