The Primitives

The Primitives emerged from the UK independent music scene of the

mid-1980s with a sound that distilled the shimmering guitar chime of The

Byrds, the buzzsaw style of The Ramones and 60's girl group melodies into

two-and-a-half-minute pop gems.

After topping the indie singles chart several times, their widely acclaimed first

album, Lovely, made them one of the UK’s most revered alternative rock acts,

while the international success of the single “Crash” saw them cross over to a

mass audience. Further chart success followed, along with two more studio

albums, Pure and Galore, plus extensive tours of Europe and the US, before

the band called it a day in 1992.

An album of new original Primitives songs entitled Spin-O-Rama was released

in 2014 and was showered with lavish praise; the general opinion being that it

sounded like an alternative follow-up to their classic 1988 debut album Lovely.

In 2025 Elefant Records put out the double vinyl collection Let’s Go Round

Again - Second Wave Singles & Rarities 2011 - 2025, featuring new material

along with all of the A sides, B sides and other miscellaneous tracks that the

band have released over the past 14 years.

The current line-up of the band includes original members Tracy Tracy

(vocals), Paul Court (guitar/vocals) and Tig Williams (drums).
