Podcast: Artist Friendly with Joel Madden
Rating: Explicit Published On: Wed Apr 22 2026
Description: On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by Michael Bingham of Spiritual Cramp. Last year brought us RUDE, the punk group’s second album, where self-deprecating humor, anxiety, and bruised love songs melded with their “hard mod” style. Their first U.S. headline tour, presented by AP, soon followed, where the band delivered ferocious cool night after night. Having wrapped the run in late March, the Spiritual Cramp frontman stopped by the Artist Friendly studio for an engaging conversation with Madden. He gets real about building a band from the ground up, scarcity mindset vs. abundance, and why after years of pushing, the momentum is finally starting to feel different.  ------- Listen to their Artist Friendly conversation on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ------- Follow Artist Friendly!
