850 Bryant 03:31
Id rather wear black than blue. Id rather lie than tell the truth. Creepin and crawling down 6th street. Walkin through junkies tryin to cop the fixed beat. Ive got a bad attitude. Hood Pulled back. Got a lighter in my pocket and kerosene stash. I come in hot for the wild and free. Burning bridges nothing new to me. Douse the foundation in gasoline. 850 Bryant goes up in flame. Rather wear black than blue. Im always freaked out by the sight of you. Im always creeping in the cut. The cutty street light strut. Got a bad attitude, hood pulled back, lighter in my pocket and kerosene stash. Id rather wear black than blue. Id rather lie than tell the truth. Creepin and crawling down 6th street. Walkin through junkies tryin to cop the fixed beat. Ive got a bad attitude. Hood Pulled back. Got a lighter in my pocket and kerosene stash. I come in hot for the wild and free. Burning bridges nothing new to me. Douse the foundation in gasoline. 850 Bryant goes up in flame. Rather wear black than blue. Im always freaked out by the sight of you. Im always creeping in the cut. The cutty street light strut. Got a bad attitude, hood pulled back, lighter in my pocket and kerosene stash. Fuck the San Francisco Police Department.

I'm always walking into rooms full of people. I'm always wondering if they see what I see. I always wonder if they know what I'm thinking I Feed Bad Bein' Me. I want to come on like an earthquake. Instead I come on like a headache. Its not something I want everyone to see. I Feel Bad Bein Me'.

Bloodclot 03:36
I cant sleep cause my ears are always ringing from the sirens and the sounds of the gun shots. I cant think cause the walls are closing in on me and I'm weirded out by people who just wont stop. I dont speak cause my head is always spinning and Im lost inside the rhythm of the blood clot. I try to listen but I'm maxin out and trippin cause my friends and I are always in the wrong spot. And its always burning into my soul. And its always creeping into my bones. Im fucked up, tripping out, feeling stuck and down and out. My mind wanders in and out im bought and sold.

about

Hot on the heels of their breakout, debut EP 'Mass Hysteria', the band quickly grew to be Cali's next underground must-see -- earning them support spots with American Nightmare, Turnstile, The Story So Far, Pissed Jeans and more. 'Police State' picks up where 'Mass Hysteria' left off.

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.

Hate for the police, the government, the status quo and himself are reoccurring themes in Bingham's lyrics. The sounds borrow from the past, echoes of late 70's / early 80's working class rock and punk, which function on the upbeat, showcasing very bright guitars yet generating darker vocal rhythms and darker patterning.
