In the days when indie pop has become increasingly boring and sterile, Pris are ready to give the music industry a proverbial (and perhaps physical) kick up the arse. Hailing from London, Pris have the gobby rhetoric of early Manic Street Preachers, the sexiness of Debbie Harry and the trashy pop punk sounds of the Buzzocks. Having already taking pot shots at the Klaxons and Mumford & Fuckin’ Sons, the band caused a minor twitter fury last weekend by calling Ellie Goulding ‘a massive wang’, Brilliant!

Pris consist of Kat (Vocals), Agatha (Guitar), Mary (Bass) and Sam (Drums).  Despite claiming that “Songwriting is for losers”, Pris have produced an impressive array of infectiously catchy tunes including the bittersweet True Romance and fabulous Guessed You Would Be Depressed. Pris are the ultimate DIY band, a melting pot of cigarettes, lipstick, energy, passion and cockiness. Pris will no doubt divide the masses between believers and non- believes. Whose side are you on?

Pris are set to release their debut single The Better You Look, The More You See in the near future.
