Spiritual Cramp are an American punk rock band from San Francisco, California, formed in 2017. Blending hardcore punk with post-punk, new wave, and alternative rock influences, the band have developed a distinctive sound that combines driving rhythms, infectious melodies, and socially aware lyricism with the energy of classic punk.
Led by vocalist Michael Bingham, Spiritual Cramp have built a strong following through energetic live performances and a string of acclaimed EPs before making the transition to full-length albums. Their ability to balance raw punk aggression with danceable grooves and memorable hooks has established them as one of the most exciting bands in the modern punk scene.
Spiritual Cramp's music draws from hardcore punk, post-punk, garage rock, and new wave, creating a sound that feels both urgent and melodic. Angular guitar work, propulsive bass lines, punchy rhythms, and charismatic vocals combine to produce songs that are equally suited to packed clubs and festival stages.
While firmly rooted in punk, the band embrace melody and experimentation without sacrificing the intensity and DIY spirit that define their music.
