Influence of the Cramps on Starting a Band
After seeing the Cramps perform in 1979, the speaker became inspired to start a band. The raw energy and confrontational nature of punk rock resonated with them, and they felt that they could play simple songs like the Cramps, as they were already able to play a few songs on one string of the guitar.
