The Cryptkeeper Five ''(sometimes referred to as CK5)'' are an American punk rock/ rock n' roll〔Greaser, Graveyard. (2012-02-29) (Graveyard Greaser Gang: The Cryptkeeper Five - The Unbeatable Cry ). Graveyard-greaser-gang.blogspot.com. Retrieved on 2015-03-23.〕 band formed in 1997 in Trenton, New Jersey. ==History== Vocalist Johnny Ott, guitarist Jimmy Ray, and drummer D.T. Graves have been in CK5 since its 1997 origin, with many different supporting players over the years. The trio played music together in a band called ''Navalistic Death'' prior to the Cryptkeeper Five as well.〔http://njscene.tripod.com/punkscene/id8.html〕 Johnny's first CK5-leaning lyrics were for a song called "Black Death A Go-Go."〔Greaser, Graveyard.

Retrieved on 2015-03-23.〕 At the outset, the group were a "straight ahead punk rock band", according to D.T. Their first album, ''Dear Dr. X... I Wanna be the Creature'' (1997) not only reflects this musical direction, but also was characterized lyrically by a preoccupation with "B-movies."〔 Although they have evolved since, they have retained a "raw" and unpremeditated approach to music, letting the music flow organically. This attitude is not, again according to D.T., to be confused with being content with "sounding like shit".〔(Cryptkeeper Five | Trenton Makes ... The World Takes | Interview ). Chorusandverse.com (2010-06-21). Retrieved on 2015-04-23.〕 The band's name would appear to be a blended reference to the fictional "crypt-kicker five" from the ''Monster Mash'', and the host of EC Comics's Tales From the Crypt. However, vocalist Johnny Ott has stated that this was only a subconscious influence, and that the name was instead a horror rock update of the pop/rock "Fives", such as Dave Clark Five and Jackson Five.〔(Tales from the Shadows of your soul: Rising from the ashes with Cryptkeeper Five ).
