Originally released in 1997, “Big Beat From Badsville” is a haul-ass, careening monster of a record featuring more songs of mutilation, shape-shifting, psycho frenzies and she-devil-worship.
Once more the band that dares to be different dives into the Devil’s gutbucket and comes up gasping with 18 cuts to push your panic button. Music of anti-social significance to be enjoyed naked on roller skates, semi-conscious or both.

Big Beat from Badsville is the seventh studio album by the American rock band the Cramps. It was released in 1997 on Epitaph Records.
The album was recorded and mixed at engineer Earle Mankey’s house in Thousand Oaks, California, in May 1997. It was produced by Poison Ivy and Lux Interior. It is the only Cramps album to consist solely of original songs.
The Cramps reissued the album on their own record label, Vengeance Records, in 2001 with four bonus tracks: “Confessions of a Psycho Cat”, “No Club Lone Wolf”, “I Walked All Night” and “Peter Gunn”.
