Spiritual Cramp announces new album RUDE

Spiritual Cramp have announced their new LP RUDE will drop on October 24th via Blue Grape Music. The LP was Produced by John Congleton, mixed by Carlos de la Garza, and featuring a duet with Sharon Van Etten. Spiritual Cramp have become a full band, songwriting duties that vocalist Michael Bingham and bassist Michael Fenton had previously helmed, are now shared by all members. The first single “At My Funeral,” arrives with a Sean Stout-directed video heavily inspired by Pharcyde’s “The Drop,” featuring Bingham walking the streets of San Francisco.
With RUDE, Spiritual Cramp finds a new balance between the cheekiness, emotional vulnerability, and raw energy that started to emerge on their debut. “When you focus on yourself and the people around you, you can keep your side of the street clean,” Bingham says. “And when I see the opposite of that, I get kind of offended, which is what a lot of these songs are about.” The album reads like a love letter to San Francisco, with Los Angeles—where Bingham relocated shortly before the debut—serving as the unkept side of the street. “My foundation is in San Francisco, California, and from there I can go anywhere and be who I am,” Bingham says.
Spiritual Cramp have been among the hardest working bands in the game playing over 200 shows across the US, EU, and UK. Supporting acts like Iggy Pop, V**gra Boys, The Hives, Militarie Gun, Rise Against, and Bad Nerves, among others the band maintained the reputation as incredible performers.
