Punk-O-Rama, Vol. 3

Punk-O-Rama, Vol. 3 (1998) more music like this

by Various Artists

As a promotional device, Punk-O-Rama is above reproach. Cramming over 20 songs from over 20 different artists on Epitaph's roster onto one disc, and then offering it for under five dollars -- well, there's no denying that it's a bargain, even if you're not fond of the music itself. And there's no better way to determine whether you like this aggro ...

Songs the Lord Taught Us

Songs the Lord Taught Us (1980) more music like this

by The Cramps

Continuing the spooked-out and raging snarls of their Gravest Hits EP, the Cramps once again worked with Alex Chilton on the group's full-album debut, Songs the Lord Taught Us. The jacket reads "file under: sacred music," but only if one's definition includes the holy love of rockabilly sex-stomp, something which the Cramps fulfill in spades. ...

Date with Elvis

Date with Elvis (1986) more music like this

by The Cramps

After Psychedelic Jungle, the Cramps experienced personnel and record label difficulties; they would not release another studio album until this one, four years later. Gone here are the tinny sound quality and horror-flick-based lyrics of prior releases, replaced by clearer sonics and an often hilarious obsession with sex (examples of the latter ...

Bad Music for Bad People

Bad Music for Bad People (1984) more music like this

by The Cramps

An extremely skimpy compilation, Bad Music is only 31 minutes long. Still, this dog's breakfast of material, assembled upon the Cramps' departure from IRS, was the only place for a variety of B-sides and rarities, at least for a long while. The most well-known is "New Kind of Kick," covered later by the the Jesus and Mary Chain. It isn't as out ...

Flamejob

Flamejob (1994) more music like this

by The Cramps

Something of a return to form, Flamejob features the band's most committed, energetic performances in quite some time, with wild, crazed vocals from Lux Interior and sizzling guitar work from Poison Ivy enlivening some of the band's most entertainingly stupid and crude offerings, including "Let's Get Fucked Up" and "Inside Out and Upside Down ...

Psychedelic Jungle/Gravest Hits

Psychedelic Jungle/Gravest Hits (1989) more music like this

by The Cramps

Combining what is arguably the band's finest full-length album with their debut collection of covers, Psychedelic Jungle/Gravest Hits offers up a substantial dose of the Cramps' punk-strained mix of rockabilly music and '50s horror flick aesthetics. Lux Interior's ghoulishly manic vocals, Poison Ivy's treble-heavy guitar distortion, and Knick Knox ...

Smell of Female

Smell of Female (1983) more music like this

by The Cramps

One gets the feeling from the title and cover art alone that if the Cramps could have released this live document in Glorious Smell-o-rama they would have jumped at the chance. Even without it one can almost sense the whiffs of perspiration and energy the group was cooking up; recorded at New York's Peppermint Lounge with Powers on guitar, the ...

How to Make a Monster

How to Make a Monster (2004) more music like this

by The Cramps

Part of the beauty of the Cramps is the consistency of their vision -- since 1976, their body of work has been one long fever dream of kinky sex, bug-eyed monsters, and switchblade-wielding juvies, married to the primal twang of an electric guitar and the malevolent thud of a drum kit. While the quality of their work has run through some peaks and ...

Return of the Living Dead (1985) more music like this

by Various Artists

Serving as the soundtrack to the horror/comedy of the same name, this offers ten blasts of campy punk rock that may not be essential, but certainly entertains. The Cramps steal the disc with the opening track, the rockabilly boogie "Surfin" Dead." Roky Erickson contributes the hilariously ghoulish "Burn the Flames," a jangly dirge flavored with ...

Rockin n Reelin in Auckland New Zealand (1987) more music like this

by The Cramps

From 1986 to 1990, the Cramps eschewed studio work in favor of extensive touring; this album documents a live show from August 1986. The sound quality is crude at best, but the Cramps' music and attitude are just as crude, so the already wild performances are actually somewhat enhanced. The repertoire relies heavily on A Date With Elvis and also ...

Fiends of Dope Island (2003) more music like this

by The Cramps

Having decided long ago that messing with their one of a kind formula was a fruitless waste of time, the Cramps now seem happy to let albums such as 2003's Fiends of Dope Island perpetuate their unmistakable sound: authentic psychobilly riffs executed with garage punk panache, combined with fun-loving lyrics about bondage, drugs, Satanism, slasher ...

Look Mom No Head! (1991) more music like this

by The Cramps

Like most latter-day Cramps records, Look Mom No Head! has a few frenzied highlights -- including the manic "Eyeball In My Martini" and the sleazy "Dames, Booze, Chains and Boots" -- but the band doens't keep the energy up throughout the course of the record.

Psychedelic Jungle (1981) more music like this

by The Cramps

Here, Kid Congo Powers and Ivy form just as fine a team as she and Gregory did on earlier releases, and if things aren't always as flat-out fried as on Gravest Hits and Songs, the same atmosphere of swampy, trashy, rockabilly-into-voodoo ramalama reigns supreme. The song titles alone show the band hasn't really changed its sights any: the opening ...

The New Rose Story (2000) more music like this

by Various Artists

Unmistakably packaged in a neon pink box, this four-CD survey of the first 20 years of France's New Rose label is an essential guide to the European post-punk underground -- and that's the real underground, the stable and singles that may not have had the critical impact of Rough Trade, Homestead, Hot, or Blast First, but who informed more of ...

Urgh! A Music War (1981) more music like this

by Various Artists

Most of this documentary soundtrack is the antithesis of bloated 1970s arena rock. The record is subtitled "A Music War." But the British bands that dominate the album were battling the social and economic woes of the U.K. as much as rebelling against the commerciality and smugness in popular rock music emanating from the States. The lineup ...

Big Beat from Badsville [Bonus Tracks] (1997) more music like this

by The Cramps

As the Cramps approached their 20th anniversary, they showed no signs of changing their signature kitschy psychobilly style. In so many ways, Big Beat From Badsville is no different from its immediate predecessor, Flamejob, or any of the group's other records -- it's a collection of campy songs about sex, horror, violence, leather, and perversion. ...
