**Primitive Ring**

**Zig Zags**

**The ACA**

**PRIMITIVE RING** consists of Bert Hoover (bass/vocals), Charles Moothart (guitar/vocals), and Jon Modaff (drums). The Los Angeles power trio formed in September 2024 when Hoover and Moothart came together seeking a new creative outlet. In 2025, the band released four 7"s on four different labels (Greenway, In the Red, Reverberation Appreciation Society, and Fuzz Club UK). They hauled amps and drums into bars to hone the sound of the newfound brotherhood that is Primitive Ring. Rock and roll is in its essence a primal experience, and the name reflects that. Three individuals collide and egos rattle, shedding layers and growing new limbs. Archetypes flash to the rhythm of a freight train and the crown is passed hand to hand like a good luck charm, symbolic and communal. Rock and roll is for the people and Primitive Ring is for the taking. At least it will be when the band's debut LP is hurled into the future via In the Red Recordings on MAY 15 2026.

**The ACA** is a thrashy 3 piece that cares. Fronted by Deafheaven and Spiritual Cramp guitarist Ian Waters, The ACA is a home spun batch of punk songs done fast and cheap. Because, "If you can't afford it, it really ain't no kind of care".
