The Phantom Creeps are just three guys hell-bent on wreaking havoc on the Psychobilly/Rockabilly world. Blending Rockabilly, Punk, Country, Psychobilly and good ole' fashioned Rock into their own brand of Hellbilly Rock and Roll, they have established themselves as a band to be reckoned with! Only a year and a half into existence the Creeps have been very busy - finishing off their debut album in the summer of 2009, playing non-stop and promoting themselves tirelessly. The Creeps have garnered much attention in the Psychobilly & Punk scene by sharing the stage with such heavyweights as The Guana Batz, The Brains, Big John Bates, The Deadcats, The Raygun Cowboys and numerous other bands. Indie radio play is coming fast and furious with stations from Canada, U.S., The U.K. and Australia all getting on board. Tight, energetic live performances and great album reviews such as a recent one in Absolute Underground magazine are only fuelling the fire.
2011 is shaping up to be the year of the Creep! Come on in and ride with us down Route 666!!!!!!


The Phantom Creeps are:

Tyler 'Diablo' Brownfield - Vox & Upright Bass

'Dirti' Dean Wilson - Drums & Backing Vox

Johnny 'Void' Vornbrock - Guitar & Backing Vox





Press Reviews

Album Review
Absolute Underground Magazine
This is a pretty baddass full length debut with a psychobilly-meets-Social D sound. Tyler Brownfield's upright bass gets a mean workout over these 11 tracks. They've clearly got the genre down, with songs about drinking, misery, and I'm assuming hotrods/those Bettie Page pinup types who tore your heart/hell etc. For an independent release the sound is surprisingly well mixed or something. Really, any album with a cover featuring "a naked women on her knees with batwings and holding a snake above her head" can't be bad.

very reverend horton heat but only in small increments.these guys seem to be on the more alternative side of psychobilly but that's okay it goes well together."the bright side"is definatley not the positive rockabilly ditty you were looking for more like a negative nelly but the song is so far one of the best on the record especially in lyrics and it may just make you giggle a bit.it did for me just the way he says"bullshit,fucking bullshit,nothing ain't going to get no better no how"the whole thing just sounds so sarcastic.the phantom creeps are dark,mysterious and tight knit as a band and you can hear it.at first i wasn't a huge fan of diablo's vocals but once i got to listen deeper within the album i started to dig it more cause i knew just by listening to every track that these guys are dedicated to what they're doing as a band and well his voice just fits vocally to this sound anyways.dark lyrics,deep scratchy vocals,devious slowed down tempos,kinda sounding a bit like clutch here and there although the music is mostly dedicated to the psychobilly/rockabilly realm.come get this cause it's deadly.and this album is smoking hot it will have your creeper soles on fire as well as your ears.definatley a more diverse side of psychobilly i've ever heard and well i'd definatley listen again! best songs"route 666","pretty little head","the bright side","hell to pay",and "the bottle is god"
for fans of clutch,nashville pussy and reverend horton heat
