THE CRAMPS

A Short History Of Rock’n’Roll Psychosis

Dick Porter                              

Thirty years ago, The Cramps oozed forth from the darkest recesses of trash culture to create a mutant strain of punk and rockabilly that would establish the band as genuine cult icons. Led by long-time mainstays Lux Interior and Poison Ivy Rorcshach, The Cramps combined the primal rhythms of early rock’n’roll, garage rock, surf pop and psychedelia with a kitsch, B-movie horror aesthetic and set off to explore the final frontiers of sex, drugs and rock’n’roll. The Cramps: A Short History Of Rock’n’Roll Psychosis charts this voyage, presenting an exhaustive and unique examination of their strange and terrible journey.
