This song is the first to be released from the upcoming one hundredth Three One G release, a tribute album to The Cramps titled Really Bad Music For Really Bad People: The Cramps as Heard Through the Meat Grinder of Three One G.
Three One G’s one hundredth release will be another tribute, this time to an iconic band known for its raunchy and pure punk spirit, all while looking effortlessly cool: The Cramps. For the label’s third comp, the lineup of musicians enlisted to take part is even more diverse, including the likes of Chelsea Wolfe, Daughters, Mike Patton, and Metz, among others—all members, in some way or another, of the extended Three One G family. Here you’ll hear everything from Cumbia-style Cramps as interpreted by Sonido De La Frontera, to Panicker’s electronic dance-centric distorted version of “I’m Cramped”. Just as The Cramps mastered the art of covering music through their own warped lens, Three One G carries on the torch of re-imagining songs with swagger and style, making it their own while honoring a band whose influence on the label is obvious.
If you pre-order the album from Apple Music, you get the Zeus!/Mike Patton and Metz covers as instant downloads now.
