Poison Ivy to Release The Cramps' Debut Album and Reissue Band Material
After 17 years of mourning, Poison Ivy, guitarist of The Cramps, has agreed to release the band's unreleased debut album and reissue their material. The decision came after friends convinced her to give the band the recognition they deserve. The Cramps, founded by Poison Ivy and Lux Interior in the mid-1970s, were a pioneering force in punk rock, reviving rockabilly and infusing it with influences from horror films, garage bands, and artists like New York Dolls, T-Rex, and The Stooges. Lux Interior died in 2009 from a serious heart condition. The band was known for their provocative and lascivious rock 'n' roll, which they brought back to the genre. The release of the debut album and reissues will bring The Cramps' music to a new generation.
