They take their name from The Primal Scream, no? --KQ 01:36 Oct 17, 2002 (UTC)
Im pretty certain that's correct DAylen 00:08, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "which was effectively the melodic template for most indie music for the next decade"
Quite a bold statement. I've altered it slightly.
[edit] "Formless, loud guitar-based sound"
I'm not at all sure about the following sentence:
"the band began as a psychedelic rock group, with a formless, loud, guitar-based sound influenced by the primal scream therapy theory (which also gave the band its name). The music was intended to be somewhat instinctual and primal in nature."
All of the early stuff that I've heard is jangly indie pop, and I was always under the impression that the name was somewhat ironic - can anyone back up this sentence?--Michig 09:50, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
No disagreements so changing this section. There was an earlier, totally unrelated band called Primal Scream who were loud and guitar-based - maybe this is where this idea came from.--Michig 19:14, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
Ok - I've just found a reference to their early pre-recording phase, so adding something back in about this. --Michig 19:26, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
