San Francisco punks Spiritual Cramp have their long-awaited self-titled debut LP on the way, and they shared new single ‘Herberts On Holiday’ – a touching ode to Michael Bingham’s wife, who saved the vocalist from following a different path, and comes with a homemade video featuring the two on a weekend away.
He notes: “I don’t really like the idea of trying to sell the fact that I had a rough experience growing up to a musical audience for credibility but this song is probably the closest I’ll ever get to talking about what life was like. It wasn’t good.
I feel really lucky to have met Barb. It’s hard to quickly summarise in a clip the impact she has had on my life but I can say with all honesty everything I have in my life today is because of her. To this day I am constantly making mistakes and oftentimes not living up to my fullest potential. But through the 18 years of knowing her, she’s never rubbed my face in it. All she’s ever done is cheer me on – even if I don’t feel like I deserve it. Enjoy the tune!
