Primmers CD Press Release

It was 1979 in the midst of the heady New Zealand punk explosion that the Primmers first unleashed their own brand of no nonsense rock to an enthusiastic Auckland public. With their call to arms anthem ‘You’re Gonna Get Done’ hitting a raw nerve with diehard fans and subsequently being included on the infamous AK79 compilation album of that year, the Primmers had claimed their rightful place amongst a select number of underground New Zealand punk bands.

Now fast forward some 30 odd years and in 2012 the band have compiled 11 of their best songs from that era packaging them into this limited edition press release only debut CD entitled Durham Lane. Sourced from an archived selection of demo and live recordings, these never before released tracks offer a rare insight into the 1970’s Auckland punk scene giving the listener the opportunity to hear the Primmers at their vociferous best…..live

This Primmers album is also available as a download on itunes.
