  • the dividing line cvrThe Dividing Line – The Primevals (Heavy Medication/Triple Wide/Ghost Highway)

    It’s 40 years after they formed in the no-nonsense Scottish city of Glasgow and If you haven’t worked out what The Primevals are on about three songs into this, their latest and 14th album, you need to have a wee dram and a good, hard look at yourself.

    Admittedly, a band that dates from 1983, worked the European circuit on the back of a French New Rose Records deal, disappeared and resurfaced to start a second life a decade-and-a-half ago and has undergone considerable member churn could be a hit or miss proposition, but The Primevals keep delivering.
