(THE CRAMPS)


The Cramps / Human Fly.
Screenprint poster. 837x577 mm, 33x22¾ inches. Circa 1978.

Pioneers of psychobilly, one of the first American garage punk bands, and part of the CBGB punk rock scene in New York, The Cramps released their iconic, punk-grunge single "Human Fly" in 1978. Promoting the radical and rebellious single, the vibrant and saccharine pink ink on the high contrast photograph of the band recalls trashy horror-movie typology highlighting the aggressive glamour characteristic of The Cramps's music and image.
