The legendary Cramps returned in 1994 with Ultra Twist!, a three-track blast of their unmistakable garage punk, psychobilly and twisted rock ’n’ roll. The title track takes the classic twist dance craze and gives it a rugged Cramps makeover, driven by the band's trademark combination of primitive rhythms, snarling vocals and Poison Ivy's distinctive guitar work.
Alongside Ultra Twist, this 12-inch features Confessions Of A Psycho Cat and No Club Lone Wolf, two more slices of the band's gloriously warped musical world. Recorded and mixed at Earle's Psychedelic Shack, the release showcases the classic line-up of Lux Interior, Poison Ivy, Slim Chance and Harry Drumdini, with Poison Ivy and Lux Interior sharing production duties.
This 2024 European reissue is pressed on black vinyl and cut at 45rpm, bringing the three-track EP back for another spin. An essential addition for Cramps fans and anyone drawn to the wild intersection of garage punk, rockabilly, psychobilly and vintage rock ’n’ roll.
