Prime Press Recommendations
DEAN JACKSON (BBC EAST MIDLANDS) on "BYE BYE" :
"(Prime are) on the right trajectory... Influenced by Joy Division, Bowie, The Clash, QOTSA, James Brown... They might not like the fact that I described them as indie, looking at their influences... But still, it's great music nonetheless."
CHRISTIAN CARLISLE (BBC RADIO SHEFFIELD) on "TO BE OR NOT TO BE":
"And to kick off the show, a great track from Prime... look forward to hearing more from them in the future"
MARK DEL (NOTTS TV) on PRIME LIVE:
"Prime are a band that you must see live. Frontman Lee Heir is as compelling a frontman as you will ever see"

NUSIC:
"Prime are rated as one of the best live bands in the area."
JACK GARAFALO - WORDPLAY / LEFTLION MAGAZINE on "IOU"
"This debut from the Notts rockers sees a melting pot of influences from a cross section of Brit pioneers to formulate a sound that grows on your consciousness... Fronted by the indistinguishable flamboyance of front man Lee Heir with his infectious vocals, Prime are fast becoming a staple name on the Notts circuit and this release firmly solidifies their status as one of the hardest working bands this city has seen. Kicking off with the title track, a luscious combination of the ska-infused tracks of The Clash and falsetto-entwined heavy rock. No Sign of Life is pure heartfelt sombre Britpop that evokes memories of the nostalgic nineties with its catchy yet innovative guitar riff and heavy hitting rhythm. Free and Easy closes the EP in romantic ballad fashion with its heavenly sweet vibe, captivating the listener into a dreamlike haze. Expect Prime to be making huge waves in the not so distant future."
DAVID CROUCH, RGM SHEFFIELD on "BYE BYE":
"Can I just say, wow... (a) kick up the arse... kicking off strong with some loud guitar and vocals, you’re hooked from the first chord... the song is raw and exciting. If you mixed the catchiness of (previous Prime track) ‘IOU’ with the melody and vocal power of ‘Bye Bye’ then you’d have pretty much the perfect track."
