The World of Garage Rock lost one of its strongest voices last week as Cramps Lead Singer Lux Interior died at the age of 60. Apart from holding one of greatest stage names in the history of music, LI was a pioneer in blending punk and rockabilly into a new genre which would become psychobilly. The band took the rockabilly and surf guitar sounds of Link Wray and Dick Dale, and fused them with early garage bands such as the Sonics to create a sound that would influence countless bands. Both The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion and the White Stripes built on the sound by mixing it with the blues idiom to create the punk blues genre that would become popular in the late 90"s.

1984's Bad Music for Bad People is a stone cold classic, and a must for any record collector.
