Henry Rollins talks about his lifelong love of The Cramps and the discovery of Gravest Gravy, a previously unheard album recorded by the band in 1977. The long-lost tapes were found in Poison Ivy's garage and Rollins and Ian MacKaye, helped restore the recordings and prepare them for release. With renewed interest in the band Rollins also discusses plans for future archival releases as more of The Cramps' legacy.
