Biography

The Cramps are usually credited as the inventors of psychobilly, an amalgam of rockabilly, surf rock and punk that takes a tongue-in-cheek focus on themes of B-movie horror and sleaze.

The band were formed by Lux Interior and Poison Ivy, who have remained in place while several drummers and bassists have filled in. Their debut album Songs the Lord Taught Us (1979), produced by Big Star’s Alex… Read more in Amazon's Cramps Store

4.0 out of 5 stars Cramps - 'Date With Elvis' (Restless Records) 4 1/2 stars, April 5, 2006
This review is from: Date With Elvis (Audio CD)
Originally released in 1986,as this was their fifth 'actual' record(is that all?).Either way,'Date With Elvis' showcases some great rockin' psychobilly for your listening pleasure.Just about every track here kicks ass,like the swinging "The Hot Pearl Snatch","What's Inside A Girl?","Can Your Pussy Do The Dog?","Cornfed Dames"(forgot all about this superb cut),the boot-stompin' "Chicken" and "Aloha From Hell".As with most Cramps releases,'Date...' is most worth repeated spins.Simply a must-have.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wish you were here., February 20, 2006
By 
This review is from: Date With Elvis (Audio CD)
This album features the Cramps usual brand of rockabilly influenced punk (or punk influenced rockabilly), with a bit of surf music tossed in this time. This is one of the Cramps better albums. A lot of fun, raunchy songs like the classic "Can Your Pussy Do the Dog?". It even includes a rare lead vocal by Poison Ivy on "Get Off the Road". A must get for Cramps fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Cramps, January 9, 2011
This review is from: Date With Elvis (Audio CD)
This was actually the first Cramps cd I ever got and now that I own the rest of their cds this one has always remained my favorite. If you are new to The Cramps this would be a great album to start with. They are hard to label - part punk, rockabilly, psychobilly, surf, and just plain rock n roll all thrown together. Lead singer Lux Interior died in 2009 and the band called it quits after a career lasting more than 30 years. This album originally was released in 1986 and contains some of my all-time favorite Cramps songs. "The Hot Pearl Snatch", "What's Inside A Girl?", and "Can Your Pussy Do The Dog?" are my top three songs on here, but this album is really solid from start to finish.
