VENICE BEACH’S THE SHRINE TO RELEASE NEW ALBUM “PRIMITIVE BLAST” ON JULY 10, 2012
Hard Hitting Trio Signs with Tee Pee Records to Release Sophomore LP



Venice, CA LOUD rock band THE SHRINE has signed to Tee Pee Records. The band’s hotly anticipated new album Primitive Blast will be released on July 10. Boasting a BIG sound the trio has dubbed “Psychedelic Violence“, THE SHRINE — who Thrasher has called “a hard-hitting three-piece, combining the hooks and tones of classic rock with the energy and stage presence of a thrash band,” has been making waves in Los Angeles for the past few years, touring and sharing the stage with the likes of Kyuss Lives!, Pentagram, Graveyard, Fu Manchu, Howlin’ Rain, Holy Grail and The Sword. Primitive Blast is the highly anticipated follow up to THE SHRINE‘s 2010 self-titled debut which was produced by Black Flag’s Chuck Dukowski.


”It’s like crash landing our spaceship on some awesome planet where everyone is raging and headbangin’ and anyone who doesn’t like it can bless off,” said guitarist / vocalist Josh Landau of THE SHRINE‘s signing to Tee Pee Records. “We are most epicly stoked to present Tee Pee with “Primitive Blast”, our first true offering of psychedelic violence rock and roll.”

THE SHRINE “Primitive Blast” (Official Trailer) feat. NEW song “WHISTLINGS OF DEATH”!!



THE SHRINE are a pool-skating, acid-eating, rip-roaring trio whose ”Psychedelic Violence Rock and Roll” will melt your face off! The bitchin’ band’s bad-ass new record Primitive Blast fuses “the wilder riffs of your Dad’s Thin Lizzy and Black Sabbath LPs” with “the fury of a punk show getting busted by the cops” and is so wild-eyed and surly that it has to be heard to be believed!! Primitive Blast delivers a crossover bitch slap of gargantuan proportions that instantaneously announces THE SHRINE as the most devil-may-care gang of brothers to soil the streets of LA since DLR and EVH played The Troubadour. The band trancends labels like “hard rock”, “punk” and “heavy metal” and renders those tems obsolete! Recorded on vintage gear and reel-to-reel tape through mountainous Marshall stacks, Primitive Blast is the perfect soundtrack to cracking your skull skating your neighbor’s empty pool (or to any other debaucherous gathering of longhairs), delivering nine blasts of searing guitar, spazzed-out drums and shook up bass lines that seriously signal THE SHRINE as a ticking time bomb that’s about to EXPLODE. Come get some!!
