The Cramps - Amsterdam 1990

Review by Melissa Krivachek

Amsterdam 1990 is a live album by the American punk rock band, the Cramps. The album was recorded during their performance at the Paradiso club in Amsterdam. The album features the band's signature blend of punk, rockabilly, and garage rock, with a heavy emphasis on their unique style of horror-inspired lyrics.

The album captures the raw energy and intensity of the Cramps' live performances. The band's frontman, Lux Interior, delivers his trademark howls and screams, while guitarist Poison Ivy Rorschach provides the blistering riffs and solos. The rhythm section of drummer Nick Knox and bassist Slim Chance keeps the tempo driving and pounding.

The album features some of the band's most popular tracks, including "Human Fly," "The Way I Walk," and "Surfin' Bird." The band also covers classic tracks such as "Mystery Plane" by the Surf Raiders and "Green Fuz" by Randy Alvey and the Green Fuz.
