About Me

The music of the primitives has been described as the tragically hip meets the rolling stones. The primitives’ response: “we’re too tragic to be the stones.” For the past 12 years the band has holed up in a grotto on toronto's waterfront where their passion is writing songs that chronicle relationships and society. Their first CD, released in 2005, offers 10 tunes of riffy rock with a groove as solid as the canadian shield. Titles like evil, storm and retribution are a reflection of the emotional themes they explore. Live, their stage show is passionate, frenzied and irreverent. You never know what will happen. Primitives are, after all, creatures of rock and roll.
