Spiritual Cramp- Mass Hysteria
Evoking late 70s to early 80s garagey punk, Spiritual Cramp's loud and dark arrangements mimic the notoriously scuzzy, blue light infested underworld of San Francisco. On the band's debut EP release, Mass Hysteria, out on REACT! Records, the danger and unease of the city veiled from exposure by the hygienic charm of the tech trade erupts, divulging a visual and aural slag proving the punk culture is robust and immortal. Tracks like "Tenderloin" and "Wrecking Machine" are upbeat aglow with youthful transgression.
