Meet Spiritual Cramp
Hailing from San Francisco, Spiritual Cramp have been shaping a distinct punk‑driven, new‑wave‑infused sound since forming in the Bay Area scene. Fronted by Michael Bingham, with a lineup that blends punk grit and melodic flair, the band has become known for their raw energy and deeply rooted ties to their hometown. Their upcoming album RUDE, produced by Grammy‑winner John Congleton, arrives October 24, 2025 via Blue Grape Music. [soapcentral.com], [envertmedia.com]

The record includes standout tracks like “At My Funeral,” “True Love (Is Hard To Find),” and of course, “Young Offenders.” [spiritualc…ndcamp.com], [kqed.org]
