Spiritual Cramp are one of the most exciting punk bands going, and this KEXP session makes the case in six tight songs. Recorded in the KEXP studio, the Bay Area crew tears through “Automatic,” “You’ve Got My Number,” “Dog In A Cage,” “Young Offenders,” “Slick Rick,” and “Jerk It Out” with the kind of charisma and high-energy poise that’s made their live shows a must-see. Frontman Michael Bingham leads a six-piece lineup that pulls from hardcore, indie, post-punk, and garage rock, with more than a few Clash-style “London Calling” vibes in the mix. Their 2025 record ‘Rude’ was an album-of-the-year contender for plenty of listeners, and this performance shows exactly why, confident, charismatic, and proof that rock and roll is alive and well.
