NEWS: San Francisco’s Spiritual Cramp announce debut album, share new single ‘Talkin’ On The Internet’ and confirm tour dates

Spiritual Cramp have announced their self-titled debut album, set for release on 3rd November via the newly formed Blue Grape Music, home to Code Orange. Produced by Michael Bingham and Michael Fenton of the band, the album includes additional production from Carlos de la Garza (Paramore, M83, The Linda Linda’s, Cherry Glazerr), who also mixed the album. 

They have also released new single ‘Talkin’ On The Internet’ which comes with a Sean Stout (Death Grips, Trash Talk, Deafheaven) directed video that brings their raucous performance to the screen with the band clad in all-white tracksuits.

Spiritual Cramp’s Talking Heads meets Stiff Little Fingers-styled punk finds a balance between Molotov protest songs and genuine personal struggle, both a product of Bingham and Fenton coming up in San Francisco’s Bay Area. This December, the band will tour in the UK and Ireland with Militarie Gun, after supporting Teenage Wrist in the US. Tickets available HERE.
