Since forming in early 2021, The Prize have established themselves as one of Melbourne’s premier rock and roll outfits, funnelling vocal soaked hooks and harmonies through a three guitar onslaught and a pulsating rhythm section. Their unique blend of power pop and rock and roll has earned new fans and followers from all sides of the globe. The Prize’s debut EP Wrong Side of Town sold out on the first day of its release and received high praise from the likes of punk legend, Henry Rollins. The band quickly found itself securing plum support slots for bands like the Sunnyboys, Pavement, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard or The Chats among others.
They have recorded another EP and the LP “In the Red” (Anti Fade/Goner), which has propelled them to the top combining triple guitar firepower with incredibily good songwriting and electrifying energy. Whether you’re a power pop geek or just someone who loves kick-ass rock ‘n’ roll, The Prize will give you plenty to get excited about. This is their second European tour, and we can’t wait to see them.
