This image of Prides playing at The Great Escape festival is made up from 9 individual photos joined together. The shots are shown below, all taken consecutively except shot nine which was taken about a minute later because the lighting pattern changed and I had to wait for it to change back again.

Prides are one of those bands who write songs so catchy and commercially accessible that it must surely be only a matter of time before the band have significant chart success. Their "The Seeds You Sow" EP is a masterclass in pop songwriting. It's incredibly polished synth-driven sound is given the human touch by fantastic singing and in a live setting the guitars and huge tribal drum parts really come to the fore. It is a sound crying out for arenas!

"The Seeds You Sow EP" is available via Island Records. Further details are on the band website at www.pridesband.com. Here's the vid for my favourite track from them at the moment... The Seeds You Sow.
