| | The Cramps |
 | | Sub-labelled "Cramp Fiends Only," this double-CD is comprised of incompetent early demos and live material. | | | And this is something that the Cramps simply don't seem to realize. | | | Unfortunately, this is simply the way things have to be; pushing buttons and levers for a paycheck has replaced the hunting and gathering that our ancestors had to conduct daily just to SURVIVE. |

| | The fact that you say "This group of wonderfully weird dudes and a dudette invented the whole fuckin' rockabilly genre." is so blindingly ignorant that I think I can hear Carl Perkins rolling over in his grave. | | | I think it even makes people sick, mostly girls. | | | i mean, i don't even like rancid, but i don't think the cramps had that much of an influence on them or the bands that directly influenced them. |

| | Nothing ever changes, I really think, and I think the people who don't understand the Cramps are square, uptight, repressed people, and I don't know, there are probably so many things they don't understand that it's just sad for them. | | | The Cramps are back in the flesh with a tour spreading across the United States in April and May. And for those who can relate to the 50's trash culture they portray, they are a must see experience. | | | For the Cramps, its delving beyond to the taboo, to the subcultures that make life more interesting to those wild at heart. |

| | But the Cramps, for all their worn-out rockabilly solutions and grave-digging references, are still able to reinvent themselves every time around, if only by slightly altering their musical approach. | | | Not that the Cramps have lost any of their edge, because they haven't. | | | These days, the Cramps sound more alive than they have in a long while, which may or may not be a compliment for a band preoccupied with the morbid. |

| | This new Cramps release documents the very beginnings of a band founded on a dream that'd never before been had. | | | Nearly three decades later, they not only realized their dream, they gave the musical world a sound no else could, or would. | | | In spite of some of the slight discomfort that comes with lo-fi listening, the set displays a band that, even at their very inexperienced start, had a powerful, raw sense of what's at the heart of any good rock 'n' roll: soul, and pure energy. |

| | Psychobilly bands - The Cramps |
| | Unlike most alternative bands nowadays, who are more a part of the mainstream than the fringe-dwelling CRAMPS will ever be, they don’t bang people over the head with angst. | | | The CRAMPS have truly lived hard, real lives that have made them what they are -- three-dimensional, flesh-and-blood rock’n’roll heroes -- not Addams Family cartoons, as alleged by disbelieving detractors. | | | Although the Cramps always claim in interviews they don't play psychobilly, it would be odd not to mention them on a psychobilly website. |

| | I also have this eerie memory of Lux coming up to me just as the Cramps were leaving the stage (after an encore 17-minute version of "Surfin' Bird"), wearing only a pair of gold lamé pants that barely hung to his body and a pair of matching elbow-length gloves, extending his hand to shake mine. | | | I reached out to him, and he grabbed me by the elbow and wiped his slimy sweat down the length of my forearm, muttering some wiseass remark that I couldn't make out. | | | Ivy plays the rest of the set the roadie's blood splattered on her arm... |

| | TrouserPress.com :: Cramps |
| | Like a seance or voodoo session, the Cramps' music needs time to work its spell, and so the albums make a better introduction. | | | Predating and never quite participating in the early '80s rockabilly revival, the Cramps used that genre's primal sound as a jumping-off point for a uniquely weird pastiche of rock'n'roll, psychedelia and a monster movie/junk food/swamp-creature aesthetic. | | | Songs the Lord Taught Us is a delirious invocation to the demons behind rock'n'roll. |

| | And with the Cramps continuing their unholy mission well into the 21st century, they offered their fans a look back with 2004's How to Make a Monster, a collection of rare live material and demos. | | | A new Cramps album followed in 2003, Fiends of Dope Island, which (of course) featured yet another personal change, with Chopper Franklin becoming the band's latest bassist. | | | The entire psychobilly scene would be unthinkable without them, and their prescient celebration of the echoey menace of first-generation rock & roll had a primal (if little acknowledged) influence on the rockabilly revival and the later roots rock movement. |

| | [X] : A Graveyard Smash |
| | In keeping with the dark and spooky, yet still seductive and fun-loving themes of their songs, the Cramps have made several music videos over the years paying homage to the underground or often times under-appreciated monster, science fiction, and horror movies of the past, which unfortunately have not been seen by too many people themselves. | | | With the group’s 30th year of existence rapidly approaching like a spectral banshee over a mist filled cemetery, the Cramps have just released “How To Make A Monster,” a two disc collection of demos, rehearsals, and live performances from the early days in their musical laboratory. | | | I think psychobilly [today] kind of takes the sexual-ness out of rockabilly and that’s what the main ingredient was to us, you know, the groove and the backbeat and everything.” |

| | Whether you go for the music or the antics, there is no doubt that the Cramps remains one of the most thrilling and fun bands you're ever likely to see. | | | The Cramps combine punk-rock swagger with reverb-drenched rockabilly and campy American trash-culture. | | | It's been 25 years since the band unleashed its reverb-drenched tunes and campy '50s kitsch imagery on an unsuspecting public, but if anything, the Cramps has gotten better with age. |
