Episode 106: The Cramps

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)
