Rocks - Primal Scream, 1994
Dealers keep dealin’ Ain’t no use in prayin’ |
Primal Scream is a band from Glasgow, Scotland. Named after the therapeutic yelling used in psychotherapy treatment, the band was formed in 1982 by Bobby Gillespie and Jim Beattie. They had only minor success through the 80s, but where introduced to Acid House music in 1988. The band attended raves and took ecstasy, trying to understand the whole movement. Eventually combining the trance-like influence of House Music with their traditional Rock roots paid off for Primal Scream. Screamadelica was a commercial success in 1991, as was the follow-up album Give out But Don't Give Up, featuring this song, Rocks.
As for cultural notoriety, Primal Scream's song Movin' on Up was featured on the video game, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. I just thought that was worth mentioning...
