EspañolPRIMER 55
'Primer 55' is a nu metal/rapcore music group from Memphis, Tennessee. They are currently signed to Crash Music.[1]
Primer 55 was formed in 1997 in Memphis, TN. Guitarist Bobby Burns co-founded the band with vocalist Jason "J-Sin" Luttrell[2]. They would then recruit Mike "Jr." Christopher and Josh McLane to complete the line-up. The band would play local venues, slowly gathering a following. In 1999, they released their self titled album through independent label Propellant Transmissions.
Not long after their first release, the band would sign a recording contract with Island Def Jam and release ''Introduction to Mayhem'' in 2000. The album spawned the band's most successful single entitled "Loose." They would also appear on the 2000 leg of the Ozzfest tour. In 2001, drummer Josh McLane left the band citing personal reasons and was replaced by John Kamoosi. Kamoosi did a few tours and left the band before they were to go into the studio for ''The New Release''. By this point, Mike "Jr." Christopher had left the band as well, leaving Bobby Burns to perform both bass and guitar duties for the album, as he had done on the first one. They recruited former Helmet drummer John Stainer to perform drum tracks for the album, and after the album was finished, they found a new rhythm section in bassist Kobie Jackson (formerly of Allston), and Preston Nash (formerly of Dope).
Primer 55 was the opening act at the 2002 Gathering of the Juggalos in Peoria, Illinois. They replaced Kittie who had pulled out due to a payment dispute with Insane Clown Posse leader Violent J. Primer 55 has shared the stage with such notable acts as Soulfly (who Bobby Burns is now with), Disturbed, and Taproot. In May of 2002, the band split with Island/Def Jam, and performed on the "10-Dollar Riot" tour with Skinlab, Dope, and Society 1. Sometime in this time period, the band also parted ways with Kobie Jackson, and replaced him with Toomey of the band 12v Negative Earth. In January of 2003, the band split up, only to reunite in 2007. The band is currently working on putting out a two-disc rarities collection through Crash Music as well as a new album and a tour schedueled for the winter of 2007.
