Wrong Side of Town EP

by The Prize

supported by

Anthony Childs You gotta love a band whose members weren't alive when you were young and somehow create music that takes you back to your youth (except I was never this cool). Gotta get back to Oz and see these "kids" perform live. Favorite track: Fighting My Way Back.

Art Fin An exciting new power pop single. It reminds me of Joan Jett fronting Cheap Trick with Thin Lizzy's guitars covering The Preatures. A more contemporary comparison would be with bands Romeo or Bad Moves. Rough Trade UK has the white vinyl for pre-order but probably not for long. Favorite track: Wrong Side of Town.

about

The Prize are Melbourne’s hottest new addition, a breath of fresh air and a shot in the arm for a city still bouncing back from a bitter start to the decade. Forming in early 2021 and figuring out a way to jam and write songs in between rules and restrictions, The Prize landed on a blend of power pop and rock and roll that's equal parts brains and bravado.

The joyous new five-piece bring three guitars and five voices that harmonise together to make some of the best power pop this city has heard in years. With lead vocals primarily shared between drummer Nadine Muller and guitarist Carey Paterson, the five-piece is rounded out with Joseph Imfeld on guitar, Austin Haire on guitar and Jack Kong on bass. After the dust settled from the city’s miserable hiatus, The Prize played their first show to a sold out Croxton Bandroom opening for Civic in November 2021.

Their sound blends the hooks of The Nerves, twin rock ’n’ roll leads of Thin Lizzy and minor progressions of later era Flamin’ Groovies with the fullness and power of the Ramones and the dynamic punch of Face To Face era-Angels and early Divinyls. Obvious influences shine through on their sensational cover of the obscure 1979 power pop classic, “Fighting My Way Back”; originally by British group, The Incredible Kidda Band.

The Prize will release their debut EP “Wrong Side of Town”, as a four-track 7” available from September 2nd via Anti Fade Records.

I know it's an obscure reference, but the singer reminds me of Anneke van Giersbergen from the Gathering. The singer of Romero is a highlight of the band's sound, and the power-pop tunes are driven by her. Looking forward to future releases of this band. Bart
