Flamejob by The Cramps
Flamejob is an album by The Cramps, released in 1994. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 3 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Ultra Twist”, on 2 lists with a best position of #573.
Flamejob, the Cramps' sixth studio album and 11th release overall, came out on Creation on October 11, 1994. Lux Interior and Poison Ivy, the only two members who never left, produced it themselves, and Lux even shot the cover photo. They cut and mixed it at engineer Earle Mankey's Psychedelic Shack in Thousand Oaks, California, with Harry Drumdini now in the lineup.
The formula that made them the godparents of psychobilly hasn't budged an inch: rockabilly twang and punk sleaze, reverb-drenched guitar, and Lux yelping and leering through the whole trashy carnival. "Ultra Twist!" is a gleeful dance-floor stomp, and "Route 66 (Get Your Kicks On)" rolls along in the same greasy spirit. A UK-only reissue in 2003 added a second version of "Ultra Twist!".
