Where: Glasgow, Scotland

What: Rock band, drawing influences from indie rock, punk hard rock and dance

About: Scottish band Primal Scream started out as an indie-pop band, but over the course of four decades, they have become musical chameleons. They are constantly pushing the boundaries of what is possible - they are not afraid to use gospel melodies or jazz alongside post-punk strings. Their major milestone remains the album Screamadelica, a hedonistic collision of club culture and rock roots. 

Listen to: Movin on’ up, Loaded, Country Girl

‘When I sing and he plays guitar, we’ve got a groove and an understanding and we know where each other’s going. And that’s Primal Scream. There’s a connection that goes all the way back to being 16 - I just wanna make records and write songs that reflect how I feel at the age I’m now and the world in which I find myself living, and I’m very curious about the world. It’s not like you’re trying to be better than anyone else. I just wanna make a contribution to music’ - Uncut Magazine, 2024
