The Prize - "From the Night"


How long have I been talking about how amazing a full-length from The Prize would be? Well, we're finally getting it! In the Red, the Melbourne-based group's highly anticipated debut album, will be out September 19th on Goner Records in the U.S.A. and Anti Fade Records in Australia. Drummer Nadine Muller and guitarist Carey Paterson remain co lead vocalists, and they're joined by guitarists Joseph Imfeld and Austin Haire along with new bass player Ethan Stahl (Chubby and the Gang, Loose Lips). In advance of the album, a new single called "From the Night" has been released. And what a tune it is! "From the Night" is the sort of straight-forward guitar-heavy rock song you rarely hear these days. It hearkens back to the '70s and '80s while still sounding perfectly in place with the red-hot Aussie garage/punk scene of the present day. If you're gonna have three guitarists in your band, you might as well use them! Pre-orders for In the Red are open now. Move quickly if you want the colored vinyl — or any vinyl at all!
