The Primary 5

All Music Guide:

Led by ex-Teenage Fanclub/Soup Dragons drummer Paul Quinn, Scottish melodic rockers the Primary 5 make '60s and '70s-influenced melodic rock not dissimilar to the drummer's former employers. In 2001, after recording four albums with the Fanclub, Quinn decided to leave the band and begin work on his first ever set of original songs. Collaborating with local Glaswegian musician Ryan Currie at ex-Oasis bassist Paul "Guiggs" McGuigan's studio, Quinn sang and played many of the instruments on the band's debut album, North Pole. He then released the album on his own Bellbeatmusic label in 2004. Go followed on Re-Action Records in 2007. Later that year, Quinn and Currie amicably parted ways. Subsequently, Quinn hooked up with Green Peppers guitarist Jim McCulloch and began work on new material. Recorded at former Darkness guitarist Dan Hawkins' Leeders Farm Studios with producer/engineer Nick Brine, Primary 5's third album, High Five, also featured guest spots from Teenage Fanclub's Norman Blake. High Five was released on Neon Tetra Records in 2008. The digital-download only compilation Revive! - Demos & Rarities - 2001-2008 appeared in 2010.

The Primary 5 was a pop band from Glasgow, Scotland formed in 2003 by former Teenage Fanclub and Soup Dragons drummer Paul Quinn. The name referred to the band being the fifth that Quinn has played in. The band's first album North Pole was self-released on Quinn's Bellbeat Music label. They signed with Re-Action Recordings for the second album Go! . Allmusic's Matt Collar described the album as "A sparkling, sun-drenched blast of melodic guitar pop" and said it was "a superb album equal to its predecessor in every way -- and perhaps even a little better."

The third album, High Five, was recorded at Leeders Farm in Norwich and was produced by Nick Brine, who had previously worked with Oasis and Bruce Springsteen, among others. High Five was released in 2008 on the Neon Tetra label. One critic compared the sound on High Five to The Byrds and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.

On November 1, 2010 Quinn released The Primary 5 - Revive Demos & Rarities - 2001-2008 and announced that the band was officially defunct.
