  6. I love The Cramps.

    And I love Ian Mackaye and Henry Rollins for this, among other people involved.

    ""In October 1977, the Cramps, who were at that time, Lux Interior on vocals, Poison Ivy on guitar, Bryan Gregory on guitar, and Nick Knox on drums, ventured into Ardent Studios with the extraordinarily talented musician and producer, Alex Chilton. These sessions were responsible for the first two Vengeance Records releases, both permanently disfiguring the music world in 1978.

    'Surfin' Bird' / 'The Way I Walk' 'Human Fly' / 'Domino'

    "In 1979, young British degenerates were treated to a five track 12" EP by the Cramps called Gravest Hits, which featured all four tracks released in the USA, along with another from the October 1977 sessions, a great channeling of Ricky Nelson's hit 'Lonesome Town.' From there, the band released their first LP, Songs The Lord Taught Us, again working with Alex Chilton, and went onward, releasing records and touring all over until the sad passing of Lux in 2009.

    "What Cramps fans might not know, was at Ardent, the band had planned to record their song 'TV Set' to be their first A side, along with another track or tracks. Alex told them that he liked to have a band play every song they knew and the best of the batch would be committed to vinyl. This was fantastic advice, and luckily for us, that's what the Cramps did. This is how 'Lonesome Town' found its way to Gravest Hits. But, there was much more to the story.

    "In the late 1980s, Lux and Ivy endeavored to release more recordings from the October 1977 sessions. It was to be titled Gravest Gravy. It was a record for the fans, a journey back to Memphis, back to the first Cramps records, that, try as it might, the world has been unable to heal from. Lux and Ivy mixed several tracks between June 14 and 30, 1989 at Present Time Recorders, in North Hollywood. Alex mixed a few tracks in Memphis. The album had a title, a cover by the great Stephanie Chernikowski, who passed away recently, but for reasons lost to time, Gravest Gravy was shelved.

    "In 2026, we sought to change that. It was apparent that this record absolutely needed to be with the fans. A team, still severely cramped from initial contact with the band, began to form and got to work."

    HENRY ROLLINS"

    "In April 1979, the Cramps played DC’s LBJ Club. The NYC punks hadn’t released an album yet, but they were already pioneering a gothy, theatrical, knowingly kitschy take on rockabilly. The crowd included teenagers Ian MacKaye and Henry Rollins who were deeply inspired by what they saw. “We still talk about that show,” Rollins writes.

    Now the former Minor Threat and Black Flag frontmen have partnered with The Cramps, Inc., a new company to shepherd the band’s legacy. They’re restarting Vengeance Records to reissue the Cramps’ catalog and distribute unheard music sourced from unearthed masters, official merch, and more.

    Poison Ivy and her late husband, frontman Lux Interior, were the only permanent members of the Cramps. Interior died in 2009, and the Cramps have never really gotten their due as one of the great bands of their era (though a memorable ‘Wednesday’ dance scene gave them a zeitgeist moment a few years ago). The Cramps, Inc. brings together Poison Ivy Rorschach, In The Red Records owner Larry Hardy, and onetime Cramps producer Jimmy Maslon. “Ivy is the major beneficiary,” Rollins says. “Larry and Jimmy are handling all the logistics. They are perfect for this.”

    Rollins and MacKaye — working as RAM Prod. — are “coming up with release ideas, handling tape maintenance, editing, mixing, mastering and lacquer cutting responsibilities.”

    First up from the revived Vengeance is the Cramps’ shelved 1977 album ‘Gravest Gravy,’ produced by Big Star’s Alex Chilton."
