PRIMATE Signs With RELAPSE RECORDS

August 24, 2011

Relapse Records has announced the signing of the punk-and-grind five-piece PRIMATE.

PRIMATE features the distinctive vocal stylings of Kevin Sharp (BRUTAL TRUTH),ripping fret-board antics by Bill Kelliher (MASTODON) and Mike Brennan, SST-style bass work and backing vocals by Dave Whitworth, and is rounded out by d-beat defender Shayne Huff.

Having only released one EP, "Draw Back A Stump", PRIMATE has already been embraced by the metal community as a new evolution of grind.

The band has a handful of Georgia and Florida shows lined up for this weekend as well as into September.

PRIMATE was among the headliners at the 2010 Scion Music Fest and is actively writing material for its full-length debut.
