The Northern California rock trio Primus provides a shining example for bands that want to succeed on their own terms. Fusing the skittering rhythmic attack of progressive-metal bands like Rush, the groove of funk and hippie rock, and the eccentricity of such experimental artists as Frank Zappa, the Residents, and Captain Beefheart, Primus has followed its own musical calling to large-scale industry success. Primus' musical style is difficult to define. They’ve been called everything from "thrash-funk meets Don Knotts, Jr." to "the Freak Brothers set to music," and has been variously termed alternative rock, alternative metal, funk metal, and progressive metal. Frontman Les Claypool once described their music as "psychedelic polka."
