The Goldstars’ The Halloween Album – Out Now and FREE!
Just in time for Halloween, The Goldstars are releasing their first new full-length album in 20 years! It’s not a bird, it’s not a plane…it’s The Halloween Album!
Throughout the early 2000s, Chicago’s garage punk (pop?) servicemen, The Goldstars, bashed out primitive, sharply hooked albums: Gotta Get Out, Purple Girlfriend, and The Race EP. These quickly caught the attention of buccaneer tastemaker Little Steven and his SiriusXM Underground Garage, and the band’s ship was humbly christened to set sail! (All aboard!) During this three-decade tour, The Goldstars brought on a new ship’s captain: the baddest mamba jamba that ever was, Andre “Mr. Rhythm” Williams, who bestowed them backing band duties for 10 years, together releasing Nightclub EP, live album, and various scratchy 45s.
After the passing of their legendary Captain ‘Dre on St. Patrick’s Day 2019, The Goldstars’ lead singer, Matt ‘Sal’ Favazza was inspired to continue the voyage and delivered their first new recordings in over 10 years. After nine(!) successful stand-alone singles caught hold on SiriusXM Faction Punk, Little Steven’s Underground Garage, Sound Opinions, and Dr. Demento among others, this mighty ship took a spooky turn?!?! What’s next for these pesky rawk raiders? Pirates’ booty? Something more haunting… a 13-song juggernaut of ‘eerieeeee’ tales called, The Halloween Album.

Here’s a little bit about each spooky track:
- Let Your Freak Flag Fly (It’s Halloween Night): Picking out your Halloween costume can be surprisingly stressful, but here’s a ghoul-ture step-by-step guide.
-
Stroll In Hell: What happens when you land in hell only to watch monsters do a 50s dance? Weird huh?
-
Cats, Rats or Wind (Feat. Gabrielle Sutton): Can everything you’re scared of be explained by cats, rats or wind??
-
It’s Scary: Ghosts, graveyards, and goblins can be scary, but what about everyday life? ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING!
-
I Frankensteined U: In this re-imagined classic tale, we learn that Dr. Frankenstein is in-fact a seamstress with a fascination with old Hollywood. Can’t make this stuff up…
-
The Introduction: We’re going to let Sir Ken Mottet do all the talking here.
-
No Halloween (Feat. Ken Mottet): What if Halloween was eliminated from planet earth? Gulp!?!?
-
Monsters Go Away: The story takes place the day after the most infamous monster party of all time, “The Monster Mash”. What happens when the monsters just won’t leave? Film @ 11…
-
Cabin Rd.: Go ahead, take Cabin Rd (not on Google Maps) …I DAAAAAARE YA!
-
Leave Me Alone (A Halloween Song): What if you woke up one morning having no memory of what Halloween is and at the same time a bunch of kids dressed in strange outfits stormed your porch? Yeah, I might be scared too!
-
New Orleans Ghost Tour Night: Don’t believe in ghosts? Um, you will now!
-
Hallowteen: Boy, an awkward age already and then you have to deal with ‘trick or treat rejection’? I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy…
-
Want My Damn Candy: See above, but this time: Teens 1 / Adults 0.
This album is dedicated to Count Scary.

Leave a Comment Go to Post...Black Nuns – Halloween Songs Volume 3
The third instalment in Black Nuns’ series of original Halloween rock arrives just in time for the 2026 spooky season. Where Halloween music often settles for creaking doors and stock cackles, these 10 tracks push genre tropes to their outer limits, somewhere stranger and a good deal freakier. Volume 3 is a guitar-driven trip through the season’s less-documented horrors.
On this year’s bill:
- A disillusioned demon king who has conquered the underworld and found it surprisingly unfulfilling. Even eternal damnation, it turns out, has a midlife crisis.
- A ghoul with refined tastes who will only eat brains of the academic variety. Postgraduates are advised to travel in groups.
- A beverage best left on the shelf, whose side effects include body parts going pop. Please drink responsibly, or ideally not at all.
And if you’ve ever wondered where Elvis really got that look, ‘Rock n Roll Vamp’ has the answer.
Available now from the Black Nuns Bandcamp page: https://black-nuns.bandcamp.com/album/halloween-songs-vol-3
