South African rock band Prime Circle had the first exclusive play of their new single, 'Better Days', on Breakfast with Martin Bester on Wednesday.
Multi-platinum South African rock band Prime Circle is excited to announce the release of their new single, 'Better Days', the first taste of their highly anticipated upcoming EP, 'A World We Know', for impact on radio and all digital platforms on 22 March 2024, along with an official music video.
This release marks a new chapter for Prime Circle, following the introduction of their captivating new frontman, Gavin Edwards. A seasoned performer with a rich musical background, Edwards brings a dynamic presence to the band, seamlessly blending with the established talents of Marco Gomes (founder and bass), Dale Schnettler (drums), Neil Breytenbach (keyboard), and Dirk Bisschoff (guitar).

Edwards, a former runner-up on 'The Voice SA' and a one-time artist under ex-Westlife's Brian McFadden's record label, expresses his profound excitement about joining Prime Circle: "It's incredible to come full circle with Prime Circle, returning to my roots in rock music. It's funny how much you can try to explore different sounds, but your true passion always finds a way back. While I appreciate various artists, rock is where my voice and heart truly belong."
Edwards' arrival has ignited a renewed creative fire within the band. They've wasted no time, recording not only 'Better Days' but also ten brand new songs, six of which will be featured on the upcoming 'A World We Know' EP.
Prime Circle emphasises the seamless integration of Edwards and the band's commitment to both honouring their legacy and pushing boundaries, "There is a history of old Prime Circle songs that are going to be done live... The other part is that we now need to go even higher... We feel like we are 17 years old again... We're working on new elements that's going to blow people away," adds Marco Gomes, bass player and founding member of Prime Circle (est. 2001).

Fans can expect the familiar elements that define Prime Circle while also discovering a fresh and dynamic musical direction. "This EP delivers a diverse listening experience. We've got the classic Prime Circle anthems that fans know and love, alongside heavier tracks for our hardcore rock supporters. And of course, the emotional range – love songs, breakup anthems and mellow pieces, there's something for everyone on A World We Know."
'Better Days', the single and official music video, is slated for release on 22 March, followed by the full 'A World We Know' EP dropping in June 2024.
