Primer 55

The band's lineup has seen several changes, but its core members included Bobby Burns (guitar) and Jason "J-Sin" Luttrell (vocals). Their music is characterized by a fusion of aggressive metal riffs, rap vocals, and elements of hardcore punk. Primer 55 gained attention with their debut album "Introduction to Mayhem," released in 2000, featuring tracks like "Loose" and "Set It Off," which resonated with fans of the burgeoning nu-metal scene.
Despite their initial success, Primer 55 faced challenges with lineup instability and internal conflicts, which impacted their momentum.
