Primo is an album by the American band Rifle Sport.[2] It was released in 1991 on Ruthless Records.[3][4]

Critical reception

[edit]

The Washington Post wrote: "The Twin Cities foursome ... sometimes produce Chicago-style death-rattle, but also skirt the borders of pop; the guitar lead on 'Jobs,' for example, is actually melodic, and 'Kings and I' includes a quiet interlude. Primo is hardly that, but it's a consistent, cohesive record from a band that has mastered, if not transcended, the form."[5]
