1994 – present (30 years)
There are 2 bands with this name:
1) San Francisco post-punk band that pulls a lot of power from the early ’80s moment when punk and post-punk and goth were all still essentially the same thing. Citing sources from early Dub influenced Clash, Blitz and The Modern Lovers - Spiritual Cramp exist in a strange vacuum somewhere between David Byrne's oversized suit and a bar fight between a bunch of drunk goons on Polk Street in SF. https://spiritualcramp.bandcamp.com
2) Dark electronics from Germany, founded in 1994. Wide range of influences (Gothic, EBM, 80s pop, Electronica) due to varying musical taste of band members, resulting in a diverse mixture of styles.
The band has released 2 demos ("The Search" and "Colours") as well as 2 official CDs so far ("Time" with M.O.S. Records, 2001, and "To Say Goodbye" with Sad Records, 2004).
