Angular riffs and super-melodic vocals that feel more in line with the kind of thing Interpol or The Strokes were spitting out two decades ago…This all adds up to a pretty exciting band that you want to know more about. - FADER
A mechanistic rocker with a contagious lockstep rhythm, some glammy throwback rock ‘n’ roll energy, and a hell of a hook - STEREOGUM
The punk album I'm looking forward to the most for the rest of this year. - THE NEEDLE DROP
San Francisco punks Spiritual Cramp have their long-awaited self-titled debut LP on the way, and today they’ve dropped the final single from it along with an epic, shoot-em-up-inspired music video for “Better Off This Way.” Directed by Sean Stout, the video features the band members as Guy Ritchie-esque characters as they chase one another through the warehouses and canyons of LA, trying to take possession of a mysterious suitcase. The video also features friend of the band Ian Shelton of Militarie Gun. The song follows “Herberts On Holiday” as well as “Talkin’ On The Internet.”

Out November 3rd via Blue Gramp Music Spiritual Cramp was produced by Michael Bingham and Michael Fenton of the band and includes additional production from Carlos de la Garza (Paramore, M83, The Linda Linda's, Cherry Glazerr, etc.), who also mixed the album. The band brings fast downstrokes and upstrokes with hip-hop production and reggae inspirations to a Taking Heads meets Big Audio Dynamite meets Clash-styled punk, finding a balance between Molotov protest songs and genuine personal struggle. Both are a product of Bingham and Fenton coming up in San Francisco's Bay Area. Praised for being a band in their own lane, their well-documented live shows and a handful of EPs have garnered the band a consistent buzz and support from the likes of Iggy Pop, V*gra Boys, Turnstile, GEL, Deafheaven, Turnover, Militarie Gun and many more..
The self-titled debut is available for pre-order HERE and includes several exclusive vinyl variants. |
