PRIMER 55

Bio:

Formed in 1997 by guitarist /bassist/ songwriter Bobby Burns, PRIMER 55 hit the ground running after the release of their self-titled debut album on the independent label Propellant Transmissions in 1999. Not even 6 months after its release Primer 55 signed a contract with Island/DefJam Records, releasing their second studio album, Introduction to Mayhem on January 25, 2000. The album featured appearances from Incubus turntablist Chris Kilmore and Hed PE frontman Jared. Tours with Staind, Biohazard, Vision of disorder, Godsmack, Soulfly and Ozzfest 2000 among others soon followed.

On August 14, 2001, Primer 55 released their third studio album, The New Release. It peaked at 1 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart and 102 on the Billboard 200. The album's single, "This Life" peaked at 37 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. In 2002, the band performed as the opening act at the 2002 Gathering of the Juggalos in Peoria, Illinois. Years of non-stop touring eventually tooks it toll on the band with various member changes Bobby decided to take a break from the band in late 2003 when he joined Soulfly as the groups bassist and still remains a member of today.

In 2007 after recharging his batteries, the band signed with Crash Music Inc. and released their fourth studio album, Family for Life on November 6, 2007. After the release of the album, former frontman Jason "J-Sin" Luttrell left the band, due to personality clashes with co-founder Burns over Jasons ongoing drug and alcohol addictions. Bobby Burns is the only remaining member of the original Primer 55. The band has been touring non stop ever since and performed at the 2008 Gathering of the Juggalos along side Twisted, Ice T and 2 live crew. The band has just wrapped up recording their new album due to be released summer of 2010 through Family for life records.
