Spiritual Cramp - Talkin' On The Internet

  


  It's a busy time for San Francisco sextet Spiritual Cramp. Not only are they about to embark on a mammoth tour which will see them trek around The States before popping across the pond to play a number of UK/Ireland gigs, they're also gearing up for the release of a new Self Titled album.


 
  It's been 5 years since they last featured on Just Some Punk Songs (with a song I said channelled the spirit of Psycho Killer & London Calling) https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2018/06/spiritual-cramp-i-feel-bad-bein-me_27.html so it's time I revisited them. 

  The album will be released on November 3rd and you can pre order here :  https://spiritualcramp.bandcamp.com/album/spiritual-cramp-2

  Teasing us nicely, this is the first single. It's called Talkin' On The Internet... 

Another day - another credit card declined Don’t worry about it we can just use mine On another day, in a different place, in another state at a new time Think I’m getting sick of always hearing about it You’re always talking on the internet Red flag/Green light/ Close call / Don’t text –Don’t call All day and night all you do is talk, it’s a lot On another day, in a different place, in another state at a new time Think I’m getting sick of always hearing about it You’re always running your mouth About somebody else You never leave your house We don’t see you around You’re always talking on the internet About somebody else You’re always talking on the internet We don’t see you around You’re always talking on the internet

Spiritual Cramp - I Feel Bad Bein' Me

 

  Spiritual Cramp are from San Francisco's Bay Area and feature Michael Bingham (Creative Adult / Self Defence Family) on vocals. Also in the band are Michael Fenton (bass), Stewart Kuhlo (guitar), Jacob Breeze (guitar), Blaine Patrick (drums) and Max Wickham (tambourine).

  Their debut release was last year's Mass Hysteria ep which came out on React! Records and can be found here : https://reactrecords.bandcamp.com/album/mass-hysteria

  They returned earlier this month with follow up, Police State. Another 4 tracks mixing up elements of punk, hardcore and reggae but this time around released by Deranged..... https://derangedrecords.bandcamp.com/album/police-state

  Their name is shared with a song by goth rock band Christian Death though comparisons with The Clash and Talking Heads are more the order of the day. The song you'll find below definitely channels the spirit of both London Calling and Psycho Killer.

  This is I Feel Bad Bein' Me....

I'm always walking into rooms full of people.
I'm always wondering if they see what I see.
I always wonder if they know what I'm thinking
I Feed Bad Bein' Me.

I want to come on like an earthquake.
Instead I come on like a headache.
Its not something I want everyone to see.
I Feel Bad Bein Me'.
