Primitive Skin


We recently caught up with our buddies Brian Whiteley and Sam Dye from multiple former Brooklyn projects such as The Rich Get Richer. The boys have started a new group called Primitive Skin with new guitarist/Jersey heart-throb Ryan Bradley. This band is vast departure from the airy synth-pop that dominates the Brooklyn music scene today. The band seeks to put the balls back into rock while rooting itself in something more spiritual, drawing from icons such as The Stooges, Nick Cave, The Jesus and Mary Chain, and Primal Scream. The psych-sleaze-rock trio will take you on a droned trance journey through foggy ancient temples and then spit you back out onto dirty city streets, drunkenly kicking over trashcans and yelling at girls in short skirts. The band shifts dynamically from one moment to the next, moving from hazy repetitive riffs to explosive grinding choruses. Check their live recordings out on myspace before your friends do and see them live in Brooklyn asap.
