Artist: The Prids
Album: …Until the World is
Beautiful
Song: All That You Want
“All That You
Want” was taken from the Prids’ sophomore LP, …Until the World is Beautiful. To date, they have released a trio
of LPs and a number of EPs. Their sound is melancholy, but with attitude – the
perfect formula for great post punk. Pigeonholing them as merely post punk
would be a crime, however; the Prids have many layers. Soaring melodies and the
dual boy / girl vocals are the band’s foundation, along with flawless guitar
hooks, honest and often intricately written lyrics, and a bone rattling rhythm
section all combine to create the Prids’ signature sound, and that sound is
something very special indeed.
