PRIMITIVE BLAST

Venice, CA's pool-skating, acid-eating, rip-roaring trio THE?SHRINE plays Psychedelic Violence Rock and Roll that will?melt your face off! The bitchin' band's bad-ass new record?Primitive Blast fuses the wilder riffs of your dad's Thin Lizzy?and Black Sabbath LPs with the fury of a punk show getting?busted by the cops and is so wild-eyed and surly that it has to?be heard to be believed! The follow up to their Chuck Dukowski?(Black Flag founding member and huge THE SHRINE fan)?produced debut, Primitive Blast delivers a crossover bitch slap?of gargantuan proportions. This album instantaneously?announces THE SHRINE as both a band that you better pay?attention to and the most devil-may-care gang of brothers to?soil the streets of LA since DLR and EVH played The?Troubadour. Recorded on vintage gear and reel-to-reel tape?through mountainous Marshall stacks, Primitive Blast is the?perfect soundtrack to cracking your skull skating your?neighbor's empty pool (or to any other debaucherous?gathering of longhairs), delivering nine blasts of SEARING?guitar, spazzed-out drums and shook up bass lines that?seriously signal THE SHRINE as a ticking time bomb that's?about to EXPLODE. Come get some!!??If you haven't seen The Shrine, you should check them out now?before they explode. Actually, you don't 'see' The Shrine so?much as you feel them...a bit like what thrash metal would be?if it had evolved straight from Thin Lizzy and bypassed Judas?Priest entirely. - LA RECORD??No amount of words can do justice to how amazing The Shrine?really are, so I won't make an attempt at any detailed?descriptions here. All I would say is, the Los Angeles-based trio?plays music that can be labeled as rock 'n roll at its purest, in?every sense of the term. - METAL ASSAULT??For fans of: OFF!, Turbonegro, Thin Lizzy, The Stooges,?Bl'ast, Black Flag, Annihilation Time and Municipal Waste!??TRACK LISTING: 1.
