Spiritual Cramp
Television
After two EPs (React! and Deranged Records) and a self-released demo, comes Spiritual Cramps debut 12-inch. Combining Sandinista-esque experimentation with modern alternative rock might be something that scares away the leather and spike crowd but thats only if youve been pretending The Clash didnt write some of the best rock n roll songs the world ever knew. A merging of classic UK punk with some modern aesthetics manage to create a sound that is a welcome American take on classic UK punk. Theyre even bold enough to exploit the reggae influence that was moving through bands like the aforementioned [The Clash] and Stiff Little Fingers. This new 12-inch catches you up by repackaging the 7-inches with a set of new tracks including a Sex Pistols and Billy Bragg cover.
