A Primitive Evolution - 'Becoming' a promising act for the future

A Primitive Evolution (A.P.E.) is an Alternative Rock band based in Toronto, Canada. Formed in 2007, they have developed at their own pace, creating a constantly evolving soundtrack utilising their brand of dark Electronic Metal. The group has undergone its latest mutation with the production of their third album ’Becoming’, which was recorded at their own self built Desolation Studios and includes collaborations with Writer / Producer Ian D’Sa (Billy Talent) and engineer Kenny Luong (Metric). 

Raw and visceral yet displaying soul and beauty, the thirteen tracks that comprise ’Becoming’ blur the boundaries between Rock, Metal and Electronica and show off an array of influences that include Nine inch Nails, The Cure, Tool, The Prodigy, Ministry, Radiohead, Alice In Chains and Guns 'n' Roses.

With featured inclusion in films such as ‘Chastity Bites’ and the vampire musical ‘Suck’, A.P.E.’s music has also been used in several TV shows, while locally they received the ‘Best Rock Band’ gong at the 2015 Toronto Independent Music Awards. They have also spent long periods of timeon tour and have played showcases for festivals such as Indie Week and Canadian Music Week.
