American rock band formed by Les Claypool in the mid-1980s, known for Les Claypool's distinctive bass playing, eccentric vocals and a blend of funk, metal and experimental rock.

Core longtime members frequently referenced in reviews: Les Claypool (bass, vocals), Larry LaLonde (guitar), Tim "Herb" Alexander (drums). Other drummers who have played with the band and are mentioned in reviews include Bryan "Brain" Mantia and Jay Lane. Primus is noted for influential albums including Frizzle Fry, Sailing the Seas of Cheese and Pork Soda and for an idiosyncratic, hard-to-categorize style.

DeBaser reviews show strong fan enthusiasm for Primus, especially for their live energy and Les Claypool's bass work.
