New Primals

New Primals is a Noise/Dance-Punk band splitting their time between Minneapolis and Seattle, & consisting of Sam Frederick (guitar & vox), Ali Terveen (bass), JJ Monroe (Guitar), and Lars Oslund (drums). New Primals sound is best described as a cacophony of piercing sounds, disjointed guitars, and atonal melodies, which are roped together by heavy, danceable rhythms. This sound is delivered in an appropriately punishing fashion at the bands notoriously frenzied, chaotic, and confrontational live shows. With plans of full US & UK tours, scheduled during COVID days, the band can’t wait to get back on the road and reconnect with their friends and fans. As Twin Cities Media puts it: “The band itself is like a bomb, the music they create is the explosion and the members are the shrapnel.”
Having formed in 2016, and after years of touring, refining their sound, scaring the shit out of people, and being all-around weirdos, New Primals release debut album ‘Horse Girl Energy’ via Learning Curve Records in March of 2020.
