Formed from the ashes of Collective Responsibility in late 2009,
Primeval Soup started jamming in a squat in Brighton, UK. After a
brief period as a 4-piece the band shifted to a 3-piece. They played a
handful of shows in early 2010 under various names but came to settle on
Primeval Soup in early spring. Playing an energetic mix of punk, ska
and progressive rock their first bunch of songs were a chaotic mix of these
genres, which can to remind bands such as: CRASS, Conflict, Oi Polloi or Citizen Fish, to mention a few ones. In the spring of 2015 the band underwent a line-up change seeing
Twiggy now solely doing vocals with Toby picking up the guitar, long
time drummer Joe moving on to play with Kilnaboy in Wales and being
replaced by Jim. This shuffle has continued to add to a more diverse
sound and acceptance into the small non-corporate/free festival scene in
the UK with regular appearances at Alchemy, Surplus, Dirty Weekend and
many others. Tours accross northern Europe and regular jaunts to Holland
and France have helped the band gain recognition outside of England.
A new studio album called ‘To The Great Calamity Of The Inhabitants’
was recorded in the Summer of 2016 and is the first recording with the
new line-up. It is due for digital release in October 2016 and vinyl and
CD release in early 2017.
