Episode 106: The Cramps
Your browser doesn't support HTML5 audio
This week we’re discussing every album by the Cramps. Led by husband and wife Lux Interior (vocals) and Poison Ivy (guitar), the Cramps had a style and aesthetic people still emulate to this day. Their songs, however, are about as predictable as a Harlem Globetrotters game. This is for fans of rockabilly, surf, and blues. If this isn’t you, run far away.
Closing track: “Fever” from Songs the Lord Taught Us (1980)
