Artist History Primrose Path is dedicated to producing music that is original, honest, and memorable. The band's music incorporates a variety of styles and rhythms, testing the boundaries of the rock genre. With stirring and often dark lyrical themes ("(Chris Inglesi's) songwriting holds its own"), strong haunting guitar lines ("Lead guitarist Cory Veilleux adds a wild edge to the songs with his creative guitar riffs"), lead vocalist Joelle Berger's incredible four octave range ("Joelle's strength is that she can be angry and powerful then soft and sexy in the same breath"), dynamic rhythms ("Jeremy Ellman's thunderous drumming is only matched by his crazy stage antics"), and David Keller's ever present low-end ("guttural, room-shaking bass"), Primrose Path's music continues to impress. All elements combine to influence the listener in a powerful and permanent way.The band's full-length CD entitled "On TV" is set for release in April 2001. The CD includes ten of the band's most popular electric songs and an acoustic live treat at the end. The final result of the CD reflects an impressive body of work and performance. Previous recordings of Primrose Path have received airplay on several New England radio stations, including WBCN, WMFO, and WBRS.
