The Prids are not only a really good band but they are also very nice people. They are all lucky to be alive after their van took a turn for the worse last year. They are what is good about independent music. They are getting out there and bringing a unique and worthwhile thing to their audience, this is what it's all about.

At first I thought The Prids are great cuz they rock so hard, especially Mistina's physical bass playing. Then I got into the way she and David sing together. But after a few year and records I realized that what makes them really special is that they write good songs--lyrically, melodically, rhythmically, and dynamically good songs.
Doug Marstch- Built to Spill
I remember the first time I saw the Prids. I had heard a couple of their songs and thought they were great, but was blown away by the power and intensity of their live show. I was completed enraptured by their set. They are one of the best bands I think I have ever seen and they write some of the best songs I have ever heard. They are continually on my list of shows to go to and albums to get my hands on.
Oliver Ackerman- A Place to Bury Strangers
The best thing in the musician world is loving a band's music and meeting them and finding out they are not only beautiful and wonderful people but forming a long lasting friendship with them. The Prids' music is as beautiful and wonderful as they are it shows on "Dots To Connect" all the bands that contributed played the songs as fans and friends wanting to help not just as musicians. Beautiful people making beautiful music isn't as common as you might think it's a rarity and I am glad The Prids will still fill the world with theirs.
Brett Nelson (Built to Spill / Suffocation Keep)
The Prids are inspirational. There is no disconnect between the beauty of their music and their character. Whether its their fiercely DIY values, an aesthetic that fuses the ferocity of punk with a harrowing dark romanticism, or their generosity in playing countless benefit shows, they have always stood for something greater than themselves or their songs. They have lived and made music in a way that is fearless and flawless.
Kip Berman- The Pains of Being Pure at Heart
There are very few great bands here in this overly-touted city of Portland. The Prids are one of them. Shortly after moving here I was introduced to them and we became fast friends. Not long after that I saw them perform. I then realized that it actually behooved me to be friends with them. And if I have anything at all to offer them, then we have the perfect friendship.
