Primevals
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Primevals is a Glasgow rock group formed in 1983. Influenced by the MC5, The Stooges, Captain Beefheart, Pharoah Sanders, The Gun Club, The Cramps and sixties US garage, this five-piece honed their sound from thrash to a creepy blues rush. Their signature feature is howling slide guitar.
The group, a quartet in 2006, consists of at least two founder members. An anthology of their work "On The Red Eye" for the New Rose record label was released in November 2005 on LastCall Records.
