Primo (album)
''Primo'' is an album by the American band Rifle Sport. It was released in 1991 on Ruthless Records. Critical reception ''The Washington Post'' wrote: "The Twin Cities foursome ... sometimes produce Chicago-style death-rattle, but also skirt the borders of pop; the guitar lead on 'Jobs,' for example, is actually melodic, and 'Kings and I' includes a quiet interlude. ''Primo'' is hardly that, but it's a consistent, cohesive record from a band that has mastered, if not transcended, the form."

Live At The Entry, Dead At The Exit
Rifle Sport was an American post punk band active in the 1980s and 1990s, from Minneapolis, Minnesota. The band took its name from an arcade in downtown Minneapolis which was open in the 1940s to 1960s. An unrelated art gallery, Rifle Sport Gallery, also named after the arcade and housed in its old space, established their name after the band. The drummer and vocalist Todd Trainer later joined the Big Black front man Steve Albini's band, Shellac. Rifle Sport was honored with a star on the outside mural of the Minneapolis nightclub First Avenue, recognizing performers that have played sold-out shows or have otherwise demonstrated a major contribution to the culture at the iconic venue. Receiving a star "might be the most prestigious public honor an artist can receive in Minneapolis," according to journalist Steve Marsh. Unlike most of the other stars on the mural, Rifle Sport's is hidden from view, underneath the awning of the door to the 7th Street Entry. Discography Studio ...
