Primatives - Philadelphia time: 11:30pm
Raw, visceral and aggressive pretty much sums up the Philly based PRIMATIVES and their sound. The no-frills four-piece grunge-punk group bring the energy through memorable guitar melodies, fast paced driving rhythms, catching lyrics and their own blend of old school punk
rock. PRIMATIVES evoke their musical influences of NIRVANA, QUEENS OF THE STONEAGE and GREEN DAY in their music, of course without forgetting to include the grunge attitude. PRIMATIVES’ music has been acclaimed to be hard, loud and enough to piss off your mom! Formed in 2012, PRIMATIVES came to be from longtime friends Kyle Ranshaw, Dave Harvey III and Andy Buch whom would be later joined by James Berardi in 2013. PRIMATIVES released their first self-titled EP in late 2014 which confirmed the path for the group. Since the band’s debut, they’ve been playing live in support of the release and receiving excellent praise. The bands hard work and determination landed PRIMATIVES a slot on the EXTREME MANAGEMENT GROUP INC. management roster in 2017 alongside well-known acts such as Suffocation, Cattle Decapitation, Cryptopsy, Origin, Rings of Saturn, Threat Signal and many others. PRIMATIVES has a lot in store for 2018 and won’t let anything get in their way.

Casual Friday - New Jersey time: 5:40pm
Two years into an incredible journey and the four regular guys from the suburbs of North Jersey are still going strong. Casual Friday, comprised of lead vocalist/rhythm guitarist Keith Carroll, vocalist/lead guitarist Kyle Frasca, vocalist/bassist Cengiz (The Wizard) Najarian and drummer Adam Tonner have an undeniable chemistry that delivers an energy you cannot see in any other band today. With a sound influenced by the 90’s/2000’s alternative/punk scene, Casual Friday brings that energetic, “breaking loose” vibe with a melodic twist that will stick with you all the way through your 9 to 5 shift.
Formed in April of 2015, the roots of Casual Friday were planted by an unlikely duo of accountants searching for a way to ditch the pressure of the corporate flag and escape the mental drainage of the daily office grind. It worked; and that desire to escape is exactly what sets Casual Friday apart, they are the same as their fans. Four working class Americans chasing after the dream that all too often takes a backseat to the inevitable realities of life. The music was made to pick you back up when life knocks you down
