The Primms are: Andy, Adam, Rob and Gav

The Primms manage to mix a handful of influences together without ever sounding derivative. The urgency and building intensity of the songs seem to reach near-epic levels at points, and it's refreshing to hear someone who doesn't hold back in creating a unique brand of music. This is the type of band that is made to perform live, never settling as background music and always insisting on the attention of the audience throughout the set. They are playing tonight at Pianos in support of the Bravo Silva residency. They go on first (7:30pm), so be sure to get there early.

You can listen to a few tracks on their Myspace page.
