Spiritual Cramp – Spiritual Cramp (Clear LP Vinyl)
Product Details
San Francisco's Spiritual Cramp have built a fierce live reputation in the city's punk underground, fronted by Michael Bingham whose sardonic wit and street-level storytelling draw as much from post-punk's literary tradition as from its three-chord fury. Their self-titled debut on vinyl captures a band that sounds like it was forged in dive bars and rehearsal spaces, not algorithms.
Citing sources from early Dub influenced Clash, Blitz and The Modern Lovers - Spiritual Cramp exist in a strange vacuum somewhere between David Byrne's oversized suit and a bar fight between a bunch of drunk goons on Polk Street in SF. Hate for the police, the government and the status quo are reoccurring themes in Bingham's lyrics. The sounds borrow from the past, echoes of late 70's / early 80's working class rock and punk, which function on the upbeat, showcasing very bright guitars yet generating darker vocal rhythms and darker patterning.
