Messiah

Prides

Island Records

WE SAY

Prides first featured here back in February with the superb track The Seeds You Sow. Things are moving on well for the Scottish three-piece as they prepare to release their debut album early next year. Radio 1 support continues to grow with Zane Lowe, Huw Stephens and Phil & Alice all playing this latest single and Spotify streams of their music are now hitting 50,000 a week in the UK alone. They've just finished supporting Foxes on her headline UK tour which ended last weekend at the legendary King Tut's venue back in their hometown of Glasgow. Next, they return to London's Koko in Camden as part of Club NME on June 6. Also be prepared too for an exclusive cover that they've recorded for a forthcoming Made In Chelsea TV special. With a nod to those bold, mega productions that dominated pop radio in the 1980s (many of which still sound peerless today) this track is a hands-aloft sing-a-long anthem with a solid punch. They just seem to have an instinctive knack for creating huge-sounding hits that deserve to be played for decades to come. Messiah? We're certainly believers.
