Sam Stewart of Flagman returns to Primus Tracks Towers to discuss Ohmerica, which he labels as possibly his top track from Monolith of Phobos, putting him in the vast minority. However, Sam espouses on the merits of this tune, and we all get misty-ey... more
Captain Lariat is a mysterious figure; a legendary carouser, or so he'd have you believe. Josh's pal Jeff Roscher, a recent CLD convert, drops by to discuss the finer points of the characterization of the "Captain," what the world sounds like when yo... more

- Count one more for the Punch Bowl
Thanks to Primus Tracks, for creating such a great podcast for Primus fans and music lovers alike.

I tend to fall in the “audiophile” category of music listeners (maybe unusual among Primus fans, not sure), and as I dug into each album as guided by Josh and Frankie, I found so many well-recorded songs, with engaging textures, in many cases hearing intonation of sounds and instrume... more

Love this deep dive podcast into my favorite band! Josh and Frankie (and the true star Soya!) know their stuff and have amazing guests as well. Every episode is a detailed look at a Primus song with musical and lyrical breakdowns as well as the highly important LIVE HISTORY!
Seriously this podcast has felt very validating in my obsession with this band, there’s other freaks who love this music!
Apple Podcasts5minimaljustUnited States6 months ago - Late to the party
Great podcast and great information about the band/world of Primus. Question for Frankie, how do you display all of your signed vinyl? Hopefully I made it into the punch bowl. Keep up the great work!
Apple Podcasts5blazerjohn13United States2 years ago - Thank you
Thank you guys for all the hard work. Truly a pleasure to listen to. Currently bingeing all episodes. Found you guys at the beginning of November, I am finishing the the desaturating seven today or tomorrow. You guys have inspired me to pick my bass back up, I have learned so much about the band and music. Thanks to you and all your guest.
Thanks for showing people Lespecial also, they are quickly becoming a favorite of mine.
Apple Podcasts5Whamola17 (Duchess of Raleigh)United States2 years ago - Great cast guys!!
Primus has such a unique and interesting backstory that you guys cover in spades.
Primus has played only one show in 2023.
It was a benefit for a friend. It was a great show with members of Tool and QOTSA performing with them. The cover of “Whole lotta Rosie” is the highlight for me. I was hoping you could cover that performance in a future episode. Take care and Happy Holidays!!
