PRIDS Reviews
“The Prids explore the darker side of new wave, still visceral and poignant after all these years. Their sound is haunting, atmospheric, and not the least bit cliché---sort of like Ultravox with a krautrock chaser, The Jesus and Mary Chain with a hush. The lush layers in their sonic, slightly morbid abyss might tempt folks to call these Portland Oregonians goth. But they're more. The Prids are dreamy yet powerful to the point of pulverization."
-Rochester City Newspaper
“Imagine if My Bloody Valentine and New Order decided to collaborate when they were both at their peaks. They'd make magenta-charged electro-wave, a crashing of static guitars with a heavily delicate synthesizer melody and unexpected drum smatters. The vocals would be iridescent, with
breathy distortion. Imagine the electricity in that dark tension. That's The Prids."
- The Portland Mercury
