Primitive Broadcast Service

Hello everyone,

Now that July is here and we're all sweltering like its helter skelter summer already, we want to take a moment to say THANK YOU for the wonderful record release month we just had in June.

Thank you everyone who bought the record - bought two records! - came out to the release show at Cactus Club 06/04, made noise, said Hi, streamed the songs, helped with PR, bought tees, wrote reviews, followed us on Bandcamp and made us feel like the long wait to bring 'Monsters' out into the world was well worth it. Y'all rule.

A few days later, we played most of 'Monsters' LIVE on WMSE 91.7 FM-Milwaukee -- and you can hear THAT hellacious hour of radio here:

(scroll down, select the 06/09/2026 show).

NEWS UPDATE: When we announced 'Monsters' in April and started the pre-order sale here on Bandcamp, we also announced that "proceeds from the pre-sale would go to support the Northeast Neighbors Mutual Aid Fund of Minneapolis and Voces de la Frontera in Milwaukee." Today, as of this morning, we're happy to tell you that we split a $500 donation between NENMAF and Voces. This amount reflects a significant portion of the gross sales we've had to date (since April 21), which calls for another THANK YOU to everyone who bought the record. YOU all made this possible!! We can do more as we go.

Excited to share the details on today's new release from Primitive Broadcast Service - 'Monsters' is available from now on via Seismic Wave Entertainment 🔥

The band’s third full-length album, Monsters, sees them pushing further into heavier and more dissonant territory, expanding on the foundations laid in their previous releases. Its crushing weight is no hollow gesture toward brutality, but a direct emotional counterpart to its lyrical themes. “The songs on Monsters have endured through distressing years, as tiny monsters grew large and then became all too real,” shares J.D. Morgan. “But this record seems to say that love still exists, in many forms.”

To preserve the album’s low-end weight, the final mixes were brought to Thomas Doyle of TAD. “I don't make ‘bright’ records,” says J.D. “I like the overall sound to be more nebulous, and Monsters was mixed by Vin Smith and I to emphasize bass and the full drum kit. I knew that TAD would not only respect this, but understand it. I love how bass-heavy Monsters turned out to be, and that's Vin and me, and TAD, making sure it stayed that way.”
This emphasis on tension, environment, and lived experience is perhaps best captured in a note written during the making of the album:
“Dissonance is essential to American life: It is the broken, angry heart of free speech.”
