WEDNESDAY 13 – After the Murderdolls went on hiatus in 2004, Poole went on a solo tour of the United Kingdom in March 2004, called the Graveyard A Go-Go tour. For his live performances, he was joined by members of horror punk band Death Becomes You, though this was not meant to be permanent.[2] Poole returned to North Carolina in June 2004, and began to put together a more permanent band, with whom he would perform with under the Wednesday 13 name. He brought in former Frankenstein Drag Queens member, Ikky, on guitar. The band is heavily influenced by the likes of KISS and Alice Cooper, while not straying far from Poole’s previous horror punk projects. In September 2004, Ikky was replaced with Matt Montgomery. Wednesday 13 toured Europe in November 2004 on the Look What the Bats Dragged in tour. Some of the dates were supported by English rockers Viking Skull.

In 2005, after touring, Poole released his debut album “Transylvania 90210“,[3] and made a promotional video for the track “I Walked with a Zombie”, depicting the band members in footage from the original Night of the Living Dead horror movie. Following the album’s release, the group embarked on a tour of the United Kingdom, entitled Tour from the Crypt. Also in 2005, they played on the main stage of Download Festival at Donington, and opened some shows for Alice Cooper around Halloween.

Poole parted ways with Roadrunner Records before signing a new deal with Rykodisc, with whom he released Fang Bang, the follow-up to “Transylvania 90210”, on September 12, 2006.[4] The European version of the album contains a cover of Motörhead‘s “R.A.M.O.N.E.S.” and the Japanese edition features the same track listing as the European CD, along with a bonus song entitled “Good Day to Die”. The American edition features “Burn the Flames”, a Roky Erickson cover, as its sole bonus track. Skeletons was released on April 29, 2008, available exclusively through Hot Topic locations in the United States. It was released in the UK on May 12, 2008 by DR2 Records.[5]

On November 14, 2008, Poole released his first live album, Fuck It, We’ll Do It Live. The CD/DVD package was recorded in 2008 at Crocodile Rock in Allentown, Pennsylvania. For distribution of this album, Wednesday 13 chose to release it exclusively through Hot Topic, just as he had for Skeletons.[citation needed] A two-track digital download entitled Xanaxtasy was released on December 24, 2010 through iTunes. The release was announced via Wednesday 13’s Facebook page on December 20, 2010, and contains two songs recorded during Wednesday’s 2009 sessions. Out of the two songs, “Xanaxtasy” was previously released in the Bloodwork EP limited edition vinyl, and “It’s a Wonderful Lie” was previously released on Wednesday’s limited edition vinyl release From Here to the Hearse. During May 2011, Poole released a remix album titled Re-Animated and announced that a portion of all sales for the first month would be donated to the American Red Cross.[6] On Wednesday, July 13, Wednesday released the track listing for Calling All Corpses via Bravewords.com.[7] The album is set for an October 11 release in the US and October 10 overseas.

Wednesday 13 released his fifth album, The Dixie Dead, on February 19, 2013.

Wednesday 13 released his sixth album, Monsters of the Universe: Come Out and Plague, on January 12, 2015.
