Prides are a band with big songs and big crowds. It was only a year ago that Prides played the Commonwealth Games closing ceremony to 7.5 million people on BBC1. They went on to supported Blink-182 at Brixton Academy and have sold out two UK tours. 2015 has seen them conquer the festival circuit – performing on the John Peel stage at Glastonbury, the first band to ever play the main stage at the new T in the Park festival site, and storming sets at Latitude Festival and Reading and Leeds. Owning every stage they step on, they really are a show not to be missed. On top of this they released their debut album, ‘The Way Back Up’, to great success and rave reviews.

More concerned with hotwiring their songs into the listener’s brain than with hipstercool, the Glasgow trio carry an undertow of emotional resonance within their instantlyappealing future classics.



Despite the songs’ epic scope, Prides achieve their sound thanks to drummer Lewis Gardiner producing the band at his home studio (ie, kitchen).



Lewis and frontman Stewart Brock have been in bands together since their Uni days, with keyboardist/guitarist Callum Wiseman a longtime friend from Glasgow’s thriving music scene. It’s given Prides the gang mentality of all classic bands, overcoming musical hardships before developing into an unstoppable force.



Drawing on classic artists such as The Cure and with a line-up that’s helping to redefinewhat a band is alongside peers like Chvrches, as Stewart says: “We pride ourselves inbeing able to win a crowd over.”
