The Primitives are an English indie pop band that emerged in the mid-1980s. Known for their jangly, melodic sound, the band is often associated with the C86 movement and typifies the indie-pop style of that era. Their most significant contribution to music history is the hit single "Crash," from their debut album "Lovely," which reached number five on the UK charts in 1988. The band, led by vocalist Tracy Tracy and guitarist Paul Court, has influenced many subsequent indie pop acts.
