About The Crusher

In 1964, the Minneapolis-based garage rock band The Novas wrote a song dedicated to Reginald Lisowski called "The Crusher", with lead singer Bob Nolan imitating the raunchy voice of Crusher Lisowski (and his trademark yell at the beginning of the record). The tune, which included the lyrics "Do the hammer lock, you turkeynecks!" was popular in the upper Midwest and made it to #88 on the national Billboard chart. It was covered by The Cramps on their second album Psychedelic Jungle in 1981. .
