The Cramps

About The Cramps

More than any other band, the Cramps are responsible for the emergence of the "psychobilly" genre, which they kickstarted at the dawn of the '80s with their brain-frying mix of hellbound rockabilly, '60s garage rock, and horror-movie/trailer-trash camp Americana. At the core of the band's crazed musical mayhem has always been maniacal singer Lux Interior and guitarist Poison Ivy, the Gomez and Morticia Adams of rock & roll, with various cohorts coming and going over the years. Countless bands have been inspired by the Cramps's ghoulish sound, most notably the late-'90s/early-'00s school of garage-rock revivalists (White Stripes, et al).
