surf punk

The Cramps, a foundational band in the surf punk and psychobilly genres, are making a comeback with the announcement of their new album 'Gravest Gravy,' described as raw and degenerate. This follows the recent passing of founding member Lux Interior, celebrated on his 80th birthday, and news of Dead Kennedys guitarist East Bay Ray's Parkinson's diagnosis. Meanwhile, D.C. music scene figures like Mark Noone of The Slickee Boys reflect on the region's vibrant legacy.
