Screams from the Attic

"Screams from the Attic" is a New Orleans-based horror punk band that’s been lurking in the underground scene since the mid-2010s, blending campy horror movie vibes with gritty, riff-driven music. Known for their DIY ethos and over-the-top live shows—complete with fake blood, spooky props, and theatrical energy—they’ve carved out a niche with tracks like "Bayou Boneyard" and "Corpse Flesh," which revel in B-movie storytelling and punk-rock chaos. Their work often nods to classic horror punk acts while adding a swampy Southern twist, and they’ve shared stages with genre staples like Calabrese. Though details about their lineup are kept cryptic (think mysterious stage names and kabuki-style makeup), their dedication to keeping horror punk weird and fun is crystal clear. Recent releases like "Wear Your Face" and "Neverending Hell" prove they’re still feeding fans a steady diet of macabre riffs and tongue-in-cheek nightmares.
