Prides is a synth-pop band hailing from Glasgow, Scotland, originally formed in 2013 by Stewart Brock (lead vocals and keyboards), Callum Wiseman (guitar, keyboards, and vocals), and Lewis Gardiner (drums). The group swiftly made a name for themselves in the pop music scene with their vibrant synthesis of anthemic choruses and infectious electronic beats, capturing the essence of new-wave pop with a modern twist. Known for their dynamic and energetic performances, Prides gained considerable attention when they played at the 2014 Commonwealth Games closing ceremony in Glasgow, which launched them further into the public eye.
The band's music often explores themes of love, loss, and self-reflection, all wrapped in glossy and grandiose pop production. Following the release of their debut album, "The Way Back Up" in 2015, which included the hit single "Messiah", Prides continued to evolve their sound. Their subsequent releases have often seen a mixture of full productions and stripped-down acoustic versions, showcasing their versatility and the emotive power of their songwriting. This duality is well-represented in their successive releases, such as the two-part series "A Mind Like the Tide," underlining the band’s ability to oscillate between high-energy pop anthems and introspective ballads. Despite any potential lineup changes over the years, Prides' commitment to crafting earnest and resonant pop music remains a constant in their artistic journey.
