From Minneapolis, New Primals is the trio of vocalist/guitarist Sam Frederick, bassist Ali Terveen, and drummer Lars Oslund. The band straddles the line between the burly noise-rock of the AmRep scene in the '90s (Cows, The Jesus Lizard) and the sassy dance-punk made famous by labels like Three One G (Arab on Radar, Ex Models). Angular riffing and theatrical howls writhe atop an ironclad rhythm section.

Regarding new track "A Beast with Two Backs," Frederick states: “The song was written from the perspective of feeling helplessly controlled by lust and a need for physical intimacy. The lyrics touch on the fiery, manic nature of desire and romance."


Minneapolis' preeminent weekly, City Pages, describes a recent New Primals show as "a festival of the id, a madcap display of what would happen if you demolished your inhibitions and gave yourself to the animal sleeping in your brain."
