Art work by Stu Dead, Playdead Cult. Lyrics: Gun at my ready, faithless is the score They say I’m wanted but I want no more Keep your aim steady as they approach the door When I say let go we’ll see God for sure Love will you save us now as we crumble and fall Mindless, sucking on cliches, tell me I’m hopeless, where is the respect? Rich b**** daddies, divisible classes, military progress becoming the norm Faces look empty, hollow is the core I’ll reach inside you and ignite the flame once more Now that you’re ready, fearless and adorned When I say let go we’re gonna see God for sure Love will you save us now as we crumble and fall? Mindless, sucking on cliches, tell me I’m hopeless, where is the respect? Rich b**** daddies, divisible classes, military progress becoming the norm To destroy us all, the death will come Evolve and Love or crumble and fall Mindless, sucking on cliches, tell me I’m hopeless, where is the respect? Rich b**** daddies, divisible classes, military progress becoming the norm

A PRIMITIVE EVOLUTION will also be joining PIG and CYANOTIC on their Fall 2019, Divine Descent US Tour.

"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 Records 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." ~ Brett

Out of the primordial soup comes A Primitive Evolution (A.P.E.). Given the gift of sentience, they are here to create a constantly evolving soundtrack to our world with their dark, alternative rock music. With its current release of full length recording “Becoming” the bands next mutation is underway. Recorded at their self-built Desolation Studios in Toronto, ON the album features collaborations with Writer / Producer Ian D’Sa (Billy Talent) and Audio Engineer Kenny Luong (Metric, Cancer Bats). In partnership with Metropolis Records, the band and label unleashed Becoming together, worldwide on October 5th. 2018. Known to be raw and visceral, with soul and beauty: A Primitive Evolution is best consumed at extremely loud volumes!

Awarded "Best Rock Band" by the 2015 Toronto Independent Music Awards, A Primitive Evolution has toured extensively, showcased at prestigious festivals CMW, NXNE & Indie Week Canada and received strong support from Canadian Music Industry stalwarts Alan Cross (CFNY 102.1 The Edge, ajournalofmusicalthings.com) and George Stroumboulopoulos (MuchMusic, CBC).

Pulling together a complex array of influences including Nine Inch Nails, Muse, The Cure, Tool, The Prodigy, Ministry, Radiohead, U2, Vivaldi, Alice in Chains, Guns N’ Roses and more, A Primitive Evolution’s rhythm-based attack blurs the lines of rock, electronica and all aspects between.

“Creation is evolution” observes A.P.E. singer Brett Carruthers, “that’s what I figure we're trying to say with A Primitive Evolution. As evolved as we think we are as humans or animals, we are very much at the beginning of the evolution of mankind. We have so much to learn and yet so much has changed in the last hundred years. We have a long way to go as a species. We want our band to reflect that too, showing our raw emotions, doing it out of instinct and evolving naturally; not overthinking, just having some fun existing on this planet.”
