About:
Prime Directive formed in 2005 in Columbus, Ohio, with their first show taking place at the legendary Bernie’s Distillery. What began as a group of high school friends covering Misfits songs quickly evolved into something much bigger. After a brief hiatus, the band reformed in 2013, solidifying their lineup and refining their sound.
Over the years, Prime Directive has become a staple in the Columbus punk scene, known for their high-energy performances and their unique blend of punk, rock, metal, and pop influences. Their music is a mix of aggressive, fast-paced punk rock with catchy hooks and dark, horror-inspired lyrics that resonate with fans of both classic and modern punk.
Their upcoming release, "The Fallout," showcases the band’s growth and versatility, blending nostalgic elements of old-school punk with fresh, contemporary sounds. The album captures the raw energy of their live performances and delivers it in a polished, powerful package.
With their relentless drive and dedication to their craft, Prime Directive continues to push the boundaries of punk rock, making their mark on the local and national scene. Whether you’re a long-time fan or new to their music, Prime Directive is a band that demands your attention.
