PRYMARY is a Progressive Rock/Metal band
from Southern California and was fully realized
in 2000 with the ideals of having complete musical freedom. This has
given the band a distinct chameleon quality allowing them to seamlessly
fit in with acts from all genres. The sound created is a mesh of melodic
prog metal/rock with an emphasis on musicianship, melody, and complex
rhythms. The band consisting of Mike Di Sarro (Vocals), Sean Entrikin (Guitar),
Smiley Sean (Keyboards), Chris Quirarte (Drums), and James Sherwood
(Bass) has never been content to sit around and wait for things to happen
and has always taken steps to further the bands momentum.
By
2002, the band began to develop a following around the local California area and set
upon the task of recording a full length album. The self titled and
independently financed album was released in 2003 by the band and helped
to promote the band's name. The group opened for such bands as Fates
Warning, King's X, Quiet Riot, and Seven Witches. The group also got the
opportunity to play the pre-party at ProgPower USA in Atlanta,
Georgia. In April of
2005, Prymary was asked to play the Headway Festival in Amsterdam which marked
the bands first performance in Europe.
Throughout
2004 and 2005, the group set out to write their most ambitious project in
the band’s life with a concept album. The story is based on real
events and tells the story of a young woman who must deal with abuse, and
how those events steer her towards a chaotic adult life. Musically, it is
some of the most adventurous music the band has ever composed. The music
runs the range from heavy to light in order to capture the emotions of
the story.
In
2005, Prymary parted ways with original bass player James Sherwood due to
musical differences. A new bass player was needed and after many auditions
the perfect bass player was found with Rob Young. The group signed to
Prog Rock records in 2006 and officially released “The Tragedy Of
Innocence” on Oct 10th. The album received rave reviews
and was a quantum leap forward from the debut album. The band once again set
out to promote and play the new album with a batch of new shows.
