Los Angeles power trio Primitive Ring are today announcing a new 7” single ‘Rolling Greed / Cocaine Man’ – the A-side of which is out digitally today following a KEXP premiere, with the full 7” to follow on September 12th 2025. 

Made up of Charles Moothart (Fuzz, Gøggs, Ty Segall’s Freedom Band), Bert Hoover (Hooveriii, Groop) and Jon Modaff (Hooveriii, Groop, Frankie & The Witch Fingers), Primitive Ring have been keeping the momentum rolling in every way they can since they emerged in early 2025. ‘Rolling Greed / Cocaine Man’, the latest in a string of 7”s released this year, further drives home the whole primal ethos of the band: just follow the internal compass and walk. Following releases on In The Red, Greenway Records and The Reverberation Appreciation Society, for the fourth installment in this set of 45s they have joined forces with London-based record label Fuzz Club.

The first two Primitive Ring 7”s, ‘In The Ground / Golden In Your Eyes’ and ‘Poisonous Gift / TV City’, were shot straight from the hip. Written and recorded almost instantly on a Tascam 388 in Hoover’s garage with Eric Bauer. On ‘Burning Greed / Cocaine Man’ and its predecessor ‘Luck / I’ve Been Waiting For You’, though, the approach was more deliberate. This time the tracks were laid down over a few days in Moothart’s rehearsal space turned studio, after the band had begun playing live – the urgency and vision for the band much more palpably honed in as a result. 

On ‘Rolling Greed’ and its scorched riffing, Moothart says: “I think Rolling Greed is my favorite Primitive Ring song to date. It’s both more catchy and more wild than the previous tunes. We are all pushing ourselves a little harder on this track, while still trying to deliver a baseline bulletproof skull thumper. Both of these songs are referential to modern day fascist realities, but in a somewhat surreal way. ‘They’re rolling greed up in their sleeve, they’ll never leave or let us be’. ‘Calling the bluff on their game’. ‘Our father the wretched king, he’d sell the world to keep his diamond ring’. Devo was right.”
