Poison Ivy Where Did You Go is the 4-song tribute single in praise of the goddess of Garage rock Poison Ivy by Stiff Little Fingers drummer Steve Grantley and his band The Zed Hedz who feature Jamie Alleyne and John Magner.
The ep blasts out of the speakers with Poison Ivy Where Did You Go a garage punk anthem for the woman who should be everyone's favorite garage goddess, who of course drove this lot wild, well she drove loads of us wild with her performances in The Cramps, like everyone else they miss her so and the music is the sort of low-slung garage rock The Cramps made essential listening. Poison Ivy retired from the music scene after her partner in crime Lux Interior passed away in 2009, this single makes clear just how badly she's missed.
My Bombshell Baby From The USA is drooling drawling garage rock stomp along, in love with Ivy and everything she stood for, I'm sure Steve was looking at his Poison Ivy posters whole writing this, while re-working some classic Link Wray meets The Cramps licks and tunes, so it's time for us all to get on our knees and worship at the church of Poison Ivy.
Rock N Roll Fever is what Poison Ivy gives Steve whenever he hears her play, even more so every time he saw The Cramps, he's totally smitten and addicted to that sound and look, if only he could play his hi-hat's in heels like Poison Ivy wears his life would be perfect.
The EP closes with The Queen Of Rock N Roll, Steve's own personal wet dream fantasy anthem for the imperious glory of Poison Ivy, set against a rocking beat as the guitars smolder, we all bow down to the absolute one and only Poison Ivy as the all-time The Queen Of Rock N Roll, Steve and the band will accept no arguments against the case they set out throughout this single.
