Primal Ground Concert Review
At Gotham Hall
Fort Myers, FL |
March 31, 2005 - Before Primal Ground even took the stage,
lead vocalist, Buck Cullberson came up to me, shook my hand and thanked me for coming. He doesn't know me from the next person so I thought it was really cool that he took the initiative to interact with people from the crowd. It didn't stop there; as he performed he thanked everyone for coming and urged the audience to have fun. After he performed he took time out to talk with his fans and
patiently sign autographs.
Let me just say that Primal Ground gave a really great performance pumping out tunes with a neo-grunge sound. They structure songs precise and hard, but it's not all hard, they really bring meaning into the music. Buck dedicated a melancholic song with a dark edge to Jessica Lundsford, the little girl who was kidnapped and murdered in Florida. It shows that not only does their music express emotion but these guys also convey sensitivity outside the 'rock n roll' life.
Now don't get me wrong, Primal Ground really rocks out hard. There was a great deal of energetic screaming and hard music that is mosh pit worthy. I must say the lyrics have a sing alongable quality with a metallic edge. Bass player, Drc. Fahey kicked it up a notch with some amazing death growls that thrilled the crowd. For a local band, they really know what they are doing.
I defiantly dug Primal Ground's show. The quality of the songs were really good and stage presence was lively. These guys certainly have the talent needed to progress further musically. Keep an eye out for Primal Ground.
Primal Ground is from Cape Coral, FL. They regularly play shows in South Florida. The band consisits of: Buck Cullberson - vocals, Greg Farricielle - guitar, Drc. Fahey - bass and John Rajko - drums.
