Thank God for The Cramps. Though a quarter-century old, singer Erick โLux Interiorโ Purkhiser and guitarist Kirsty โPoison Ivy Rorschachโ Wallaceโs unique musical Molotov cocktail of โ50s rockโnโroll riffs shaken and stirred with comic book imbecility and B-movie vulgarity is as window-rattlingly grand as ever. โDr Fucker MDโ and โElvis Fucking Christ!โ really are as good as their titles deserve, while โFissure Of Rolandoโ is as frisky as anything from 1986โs career high, A Date With Elvis. You thought they didnโt make them like this any more? The Cramps just have!
