Free Music Review: Rockin' the graveyard with the Cramps!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
The Cramps were a filthy, perverse, deranged, and brainlessly brilliant band of rock `n' roll zombie punks. Their music was a raw, rude, and ruckus-raising celebration of rock `n' roll at its most heroically gruesome, an unholy combination of backwoods hell bound rockabilly and snarling punk rock. It's a greasy, apocalyptic screech, a stomach-rupturing good time that sounds like nothing else you've ever heard. It's friggin' jeen-ee-us!
Released in 1980, Songs The Lord Taught Us is the group's rip-roaring, feedback `n' eco soaked debut, and good golly what a record it is! "T.V. Set" is pure Hasil Adkins-afflicted psychosis, while the "Garbageman" Is an apocalyptic hillbilly-metal blaster masterpiece. "Rock On The Moon" is a quadruple-time explosion that threatens to rip the moon in half, while "Zombie Dance" is cool enough to wake the dead. "Sunglasses After Dark" is furious, "What's Behind The Mask" is hilarious, and their rendition of "Fever" is the sound of corpses gettin' it on. They've even got a version of the 60s garage rock classic "Strychnine," and a barnstorming semi-group-anthem entitled "I'm Cramped." Classic!
Rock out, guys and ghouls.
Songs the Lord Taught Us Poster
The Cramps got away with their Z-movie, zombie-rock schtick because they were so intense in their conviction that it had more value than middlebrow humanist pop. Descending on Memphis to cut their debut album with Big Star legend Alex Chilton, the band served up a thirteen-song punkabilly testament to drive-in anti-culture, replete with garage-band guitars and booming voodoo drums. Versions of "Fever" "Strychnine," and the Johnny Burnette Trio's "Tear It Up" competed with Lux Interior-Poison Ivy originals like "T.V. Set" and "I Was a Teenage Werewolf." Songs the Lord Taught Us was also the first and last Cramps album to feature scary-looking guitarist Bryan Gregory. --Barney HoskynsAlternative Rock Music CDs
