SPILL VIDEO PREMIERE: PRIMITIVE RING – “LIES FROM THE OTHER SIDE”

PRIMITIVE RING – “LIES FROM THE OTHER SIDE”

A SPILL EXCLUSIVE VIDEO PREMIERE

Primitive Ring have shared their raucous, pummeling new single “Lies From The Other Side,” the latest preview of their self-titled LP, due out May 15th via In The Red Records. The track arrives alongside a stunning Jernny Baumert directed video, featuring animations and editing from Arturo Baston.

Primitive Ring is 11 tracks coming in just under 42 minutes. It was recorded by Mark Rains in December of 2025 at The Station House in Echo Park. The album is the genesis story of a lightning bolt flashing in the eternal drama of creation and destruction. The album showcases the distinct writing styles of each member, but the overall aesthetic is a woven tapestry demarcating the timeless meridian. The record is the spawning of a collective vision. This is something we all share, and we must remind one another how electric humanity can be.

Primitive Ring consists of Bert Hoover (bass/vocals), Charles Moothart (guitar/vocals), and Jon Modaff (drums). The Los Angeles power trio formed in September 2024 when Hoover and Moothart came together seeking a new creative outlet. In 2025, the band released four 7″s on four different labels (Greenway, In the Red, Reverberation Appreciation Society, and Fuzz Club UK). They hauled amps and drums into bars to hone the sound of the newfound brotherhood that is Primitive Ring. Rock and roll is in its essence a primal experience, and the name reflects that. Three individuals collide and egos rattle, shedding layers and growing new limbs. Archetypes flash to the rhythm of a freight train and the crown is passed hand to hand like a good luck charm, symbolic and communal. Rock and roll is for the people and Primitive Ring is for the taking. At least it will be when the band’s debut LP is hurled into the future via In the Red Recordings on May 15th, 2026.
