There are two bands called Primal Scream: 1) An experimental rock group from Scotland formed in 1982, headed by former The Jesus & Mary Chain drummer (and bassist for The Wake before that) Bobby Gillespie. Other members include guitarists Andrew Innes and Robert ‘Throb’ Young, former Felt keyboardist Martin Duffy, former Stone Roses bassist Gary ‘Mani’ Mounfield, and touring guitarist and producer Kevin Shields of My Bloody Valentine.

They were eventually forced off by officials after overrunning their allotted time; the festival organizers were at that point already annoyed at the band when, in response to their invitation to join other recording artists in signing a Make Poverty History poster which would be auctioned of for charity, lead singer Bobby Gillespie instead altered the poster so that it would read Make Israel History. In 2006, the band played a January 30 comeback show at Glasgow’s King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut. The show featured six new songs that ditched the electronic elements from the last three Scream albums, leading many fans to view the performance as hinting at a return to a rockier sound. The political lyrics remained, however, for instance in a new song called "Bomb Drops" which referred to Molotov cocktails, and in a change to chorus of "Swastika Eyes" which had him singing it as "American Eyes". The group’s single "Country Girl" received regular airplay in 2006 resulting in a chart entry of number 5, their highest ever, it was also used by the BBC in the closing credits of the Grand National 2007
