‘Garbageman’ from Songs The Lord Taught Us (1980)Was there ever a spookier, more terrifying-looking member of The Cramps than Bryan Gregory? Night after night sharpened the band’s already formidable chops, but road-testing new material ensured that The Cramps soon became one of the most bootlegged bands in the world. Having also laid down the bass parts, Ivy built a three-dimensional sound that took The Cramps into entirely new territories. But The Cramps were never a band whose legacy could be solely measured by what they committed to tape. Few bands have ever inhabited their own world so completely, or invited an audience to lose themselves in it with such infectious abandon.
