3.5 greatErwann S. STAFF | April 30th 20

Punk + blues + rockabilly + country = The Gun Club. They built on The Cramps' work, but they were pioneers in blending punk with traditional American music. Pretty sure they inspired Jon Spencer and The White Stripes. As such, the urgency and the explosion of both genres seems by now quite evident but I bet it was damn revolutionary for 1981. In 2020, it's cool stuff.
