BAND BIO
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!
