Who we are

Formed in a broken bedroom in Bristol, on the verge of homelessness, and rife with anger, The Menstrual Cramps were born. DIY, loud, queer, anti-fascist, anti-racist, pro-choice, intersectional, and feminist - The Menstrual Cramps are back post-covid with a new line up and they still aren’t here to take your shit!

LEAD VOCALS: Emilia (they/she)

DRUMS: AJ (she/her)

GUITAR: Rat (they/them)

BASS: Oana (she/her)

A band performing on a dimly lit stage with red lighting. Four members are visible: one playing bass, one singing into a microphone, and two playing guitars. A drum set is in the background. The stage has various equipment and cables.

PRESS quotes

‘I fuckin’ love The Menstrual Cramps – arguably and bizarrely the missing link between Crass and the Spice Girls if they’d read the SCUM Manifesto instead of OK Magazine.’

- Ged Babey, Louder Than War

‘The Menstrual Cramps are the Nazi kicking, guitar swinging, feminist singing riot girls of this generation.'

Underground England

'A true embodiment of the spirit of punk in both their performance and their lyrical content.'
