San Francisco punks Spiritual Cramp have been generating a ton of well-deserved buzz, still riding the high of their self-titled debut and recently wrapping a stacked run with Militarie Gun. Now, they’ve teamed up with White Reaper for a two-song seven-inch split, which they’re previewing today with the blackened romp “Whatever You Say Man.”
“This is a funny song for me,” vocalist Mike Bingham says. “I feel like I should start this blurb off with the disclaimer that I am not usually a depressed person. But, sometimes on a day where I start writing lyrics for a song, I am. Some days I wake up and I look around at all the beauty of the world and I’m moved to tears and overwhelmed with gratitude. Some days I wish I never woke up. This song is about what it feels like to wake up on the wrong side of the bed.”
