Backstory
Primary Quality was born out of a shared passion for music among four college friends – Brandon, Kyle, Aaron, and Ryan based in San Francisco, California. The band came together in 2010, when they found a mutual love for music while pursuing their engineering degrees. They started jamming and composing in their dorm rooms, and soon their melodies started to resonate with their peers. Their music found its way beyond the university campus, and Primary Quality was officially formed when they decided to drop out of college, chase their dreams, and dedicate their lives to music.
They spent the next few years performing in local clubs, bars, and music festivals, slowly but surely building their fan base. Their unique sound – a mix of classic rock and emotional lyrics that resonated with their generation – made them stand out. With each performance, their popularity grew, and they finally got their big break in 2015 when they signed a contract with a major record label.

Title
“Chasing Shadows”
Full song lyrics
(Verse 1)
Am / G / D / Am
Chasing shadows on the city streets,
Am / G / D / Am
Underneath the lights where the dreamers meet.
Am / G / D / Am
Caught in the rhythm of a heart that beats,
Am / G / D / Am
With a melody that sets us free.
(Chorus)
C / G / D / E
We’re just chasing shadows,
C / G / D / E
In the city of dreams, where nothing’s as it seems,
C / G / D / E
We’re just chasing shadows,
C / G / D / E
But in the darkness, we find our light, we find our fight.
(Verse 2)
Am / G / D / Am
Running wild, running free,
Am / G / D / Am
In the city that never sleeps.
Am / G / D / Am
Living fast, living loud,
Am / G / D / Am
In the city that makes us proud.
(Chorus)
C / G / D / E
We’re just chasing shadows,
C / G / D / E
In the city of dreams, where nothing’s as it seems,
C / G / D / E
We’re just chasing shadows,
C / G / D / E
But in the darkness, we find our light, we find our fight.

“I’ve always felt like music is a way to express what words can’t, and Primary Quality does just that. Their music speaks directly to my soul, their lyrics articulate my feelings in a way I never could. Every song of theirs tells a story that I can relate to. They’ve been my favorite band since I first heard ‘Chasing Shadows’; it’s a song that has seen me through heartbreak, joy, and everything in-between. Primary Quality isn’t just a band to me; they’re a part of my journey, my life.”
