SPIRITUAL CRAMP
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.

BIG | BRAVE (Canada, Thrill Jockey)
BIG|BRAVE, the elemental ensemble of guitarist/vocalist Robin Wattie, guitarist Mathieu Ball, and drummer Tasy Hudson, harness an earthen heaviness composed of distorted and textural drones, austere bombast, and Wattie’s heart-rending voice. Like recent collaborators The Body, BIG|BRAVE is at the forefront of reconfiguring the landscape of heavy music. The trio brandish sparseness and density like weapons, cast tense atmospheres with languid tempos and mutate feedback into eruptions of enveloping tempests. nature morte sharpens BIG|BRAVE’s ferocity and expansive sound into emotional elegies for the disenfranchised, wringing abstracted textures and pure fervence into songs of unfathomable mass.

CLOAKROOM (US)
Birthed right off the Handgun Highway of Northwest Indiana, raised on well water; the band cut their teeth in the closest major city they could find their way to Chicago, Illinois. Cloakroom prove time and time again that you can do what you want whenever you want to. Their sound has been described as post-metal, shoegaze, americana, stoner-rock, slowcore, and folk. They’re not much to look at but they sure write some captivating music. Dissolution Wave, the second LP released by Relapse Records is a space opera following a suicidal space miner who eventually turns it all around and learns to count their blessings. It’s a bumpy road of “space-rock” with a midwestern charm that lamentably a lot of folks have found some catharsis within. Cloakroom is a band that plays loud and travels light. Say what you will, certainly not cowards.

Mendville/Floodfloor Shows presents:

RESTRAINING ORDER (US)
Restraining Order formed in January 2017 after the band members made it their New Year's resolution to start a 1982-style hardcore punk band. Heavily influenced by original hardcore movers and shakers such as Minor Threat, Circle Jerks, and Jerry's Kids, Restraining Order took their '82 style and added just enough '77-punk attitude and garage-rock hooks to stand out among today's crop of retro-style hardcore punk bands.

BURNING KROSS (BE)
Hailing from the Belgian city of Ghent, Burning Kross is an upstart hardcore punk band whose members have previously made their mark in diverse groups such as Spineless, Permanent Debt, Cheap Drugs, and Black Haven. Their single-sided LP, released in May 2023 on Loner Cult and Autoreverse Records, delivers an unapologetically fierce, raucously produced and fast-paced hardcore experience.
The six tracks on the record, including “Die,” “Hunted Down,” and “Chainbeat,” previously featured on the band’s 2022 demo tape, along with the three new tracks on this release, carry a raw intensity that pulls no punches.
