Bristol-based punk band The Menstrual Cramps have announced that they have signed to Alcopop! Records.

The DIY queer punk band are fresh from a run of dates supporting fast-rising Isle of Wight punk trio Grade 2 (Hellcat Records), following a performance at Shambala this summer.

The band recently announced a run of headline dates for March 2024 and will be appearing at Manchester Punk Festival, Outer Town Festival, and 2000 Trees Festival next year.
