A PRIMITIVE EVOLUTION Are Touring So We’re Giving Away Signed Albums!

Toronto trio A Primitive Evolution recently announced a lengthy North American tour supporting PIG on their “Divine Descent US Tour 2019.” With seventeen stops over the course of late September to early October, including a stop at Toronto’s own Sneaky Dee’s on Thursday, September 19th, we were hardpressed to not cover this awesome occasion. The dark alternative rockers—which consists of Brett Carruthers (vox, guitar, synth), Steph Misayo Seki (bass, synths), and Stu Dead (drums, percussion)—are riding high off the continued succes of their latest album, Becoming, which dropped on October 5th, 2018, via Metropolis Records.

Becoming features thirteen new pulsing songs loaded with the right mix of synth, grinding guitar riffage and punk flair. Recorded at their self-built Desolation Studios, the album was boasts collaborations with writer and producer Billy Talent’s Ian D’Sa and audio engineer Kenny Luong (Metric). Speaking of the upcoming trek, the band shared, “We are thrilled to be going out on this tour with PIG and Cyanotic. The last year has been a whirlwind of emotions for us. Signing to Metropolis was a big win but we also lost a very good friend and producer of our first album, Matthew von Wagner. We look forward to unleashing some of these emotions on the stage in his honour. This is our first extended US tour so we really can’t wait to connect with fans old and new in these cities.”

A Primitive Evolution are quickly “Becoming” a very common name in Toronto’s buzzing music scene. Here’s an example why:
