History
45 Grave played deathrock in its purest early form: fast punk rhythms and a garage-rock snarl dressed up in horror-film imagery, with Dinah Cancer's shrieking, theatrical vocals and a swirl of organ that pointed back to old monster movies. The band formed in Los Angeles around the turn of the 1980s, out of the city's punk scene, and included drummer Don Bolles, who had played with the Germs. Alongside Christian Death, they helped define the LA deathrock sound, which took the energy of punk and gave it a gothic, graveyard sense of humour rather than the brooding seriousness of much British goth. Their only studio album of the period, Sleep in Safety, came out in 1983 and mixed short, punchy songs with darker, spookier moods. The song Partytime reached a wider audience through the soundtrack of the 1985 horror comedy The Return of the Living Dead. Autopsy, a 1987 collection, gathered much of their material. The band is still recognisable by that blend of punk speed, B-movie camp and Dinah Cancer's unmistakable wail.
