South East based Primitai are Guy (vocals) Nick (lead guitar & backing vocals) Srdjan (lead Guitar) Jamie (bass) and Chris (drums)
“Ball breaking riffs, shredding solo’s, no prisoners taken and metal up your arse” Kerrang Magazine
“Plenty of attitude, some cool riffing and definitely no shortage of solos” Powerplay Magazine
February 2008 saw the release of the bands debut album “Through The Gates of Hell” with reviews from national magazines Rock Sound, Kerrang, Powerplay and Zero Tolerance. Planet Thrash named the album ‘Featured Album of the Month.’ Live TV performances on Red TV and Cue Tracks soon followed in support of the release, and in 2008 they featured on Get Ready to Rock’s ‘Rising stars iTunes podcast’ who claimed Primitai were ‘definitely one to watch.’
“…Battle hymn themes and ‘80’s fun. Kickarse!” Zero Tolerance
Primitai have gained a mass of radio support for previous single releases with airplay from the likes of BBC 6 Music’s Bruce Dickinson, Total Rock Radio, Rock 247 and BBC Radio Berkshire, plus many, many more. Past singles include “War Cries” and “Primitillian Man,” both with accompanying videos. Their debut single, “Primitillian Man,” reached No 3 in the HMV Rock download charts.
“A great track from a proper talented band” Is This Music
“Primitai are a band who can seriously play, and on each [track] here they push both the songs and their own playing abilities to the limit” Get Ready to Rock
Their experience from constantly gigging and playing live combined with their improvisation and the ability to put on a phenomenal live show is what helped them win the finals of ‘Surface Unsigned 2009.’
“Their sound is decadent, it’s a reminder of those times where music is more important than the air you breathe, but not the beer you drink” Surface Unsigned Festival Live Review
