Halloween Hit “Wannabe Dracula” leaps out of the speakers with a bright, energetic sound, blending lively Latin percussion with an infectious ska-inspired rhythm that gets your feet moving right away. The track radiates instant energy, evoking vibes of Modern Romance meets The Selecter. The vocals are equally captivating, with an artsy, theatrical flair that channels the quirky charm of Nina Hagen mixed with a Rocky Horror Picture Show edge. When the male vocal kicks in it adds a fantastic new layer, rounding out the track with a fresh twist. Vibrant, catchy, and full of dark charisma, “Wannabe Dracula” is a standout from their album A Coupla Holiday Spirits (Halloween Perils and Christmas Carols), offering a unique blend of spooky fun and infectious energy.
