Primus Vinyl Records

Primus is an American rock band formed in 1984 by Les Claypool, Jay Lane, and Todd Hoss. The trio's unique blend of punk, progressive rock, and zydeco music quickly gained a devoted following, particularly with their debut album "Suck on This" which featured the hit single "John the Fisherman". The band's eclectic sound is characterized by Les Claypool's distinctive bass playing and quirky lyrics.

Throughout the 1990s, Primus released a string of critically acclaimed albums, including "Frizzle Fry", "Pork Soda", and "The Brown Album". The band's music often featured complex time signatures, polyrhythms, and extended instrumental passages, showcasing Les Claypool's impressive technical skills. Despite their innovative approach, Primus never achieved mainstream success, instead cultivating a loyal fan base who appreciate the band's originality and musicianship.

In recent years, Primus has continued to tour and release new music, including 2011's "Green Naugahyde" and 2014's "Primus & The Chocolate Grosso". The band has also explored other creative outlets, such as Les Claypool's side projects like Sausage and Frogwings. With their enduring popularity and influence, Primus remains a beloved fixture in the alternative rock scene, inspiring new generations of musicians and fans alike.
