Melbourne band Pridelands have this month released a new track titled ‘Battery City‘.
‘Battery City‘ is a very personal song for the band, but one that they hope other people, especially their age, can connect with.
“The song is about having a sense of escapism enter your life; a new set of eyes for the world in which you see it as a machine and not a living, breathing entity. It’s about the desire to break out the hazy mirror-imaged lifestyle that routine and substances can reign over somebody. The desire to flip the table on your life. Most importantly it’s about feeling powerless inside a cage you build for yourself. I picture a type of dark and grim desperation throughout, as if any attempt to reprimand your behavioral cycles are pointless.“
Give it a listen below.
After finding their feet and learning to run shows in their hometown of Mount Gambier in South Australia, Pridelands relocated to Melbourne in hopes of being inspired by it.
Since then they’ve released their debut EP ‘Natives‘, toured all across Australia, scored triple j play, achieved community radio play across the country and released their latest single ‘Coalesce‘.
