Cramps - Tear It Up
Clinging to pain and yearning for happiness form the artist's classic struggle in "Lithium"

The CRAMPS represent everything that is truly reprehensible about rock’n’roll. Their cultural impact created in its wake a cavalcade of imitators. They coined the now popular term "psychobilly" on their 1976 gig posters. The Cramps are best known for founding members, lead-singer Lux Interior and guitar-slinger Poison Ivy. The current line-up still features long-time Cramps drummer Harry Drumdini, plus new blood Sean Yseult sittin'in on bass. As punk rock pioneers in the late seventies,
they recorded their first album at the legendary Sun Studios, funded mainly by Ivy's income as a dominatrix in NYC.
