Pride

About Me

PRIDE gigged around the Östersund area in Sweden between 1988 and 1991. The music was melodic rock. The only release by the band was the ”You..re the only one”/ ”Dreamer in the night” 7” single.

On March 1 2008 the newly found record label AOR-FM are about to release PRIDE's first release in almost 20 years. The album includes their very rare single, an unreleased single plus 7 demos recorded in the bands latter years. All remastered and limited to 500 copies world-wide.

This is a video made on a shoe string budget in 1989 to the song "Someone's calling your name". The sound quality is poor since it's taken from a VHS-tape.

PRIDE live in 1989. An early version of "Someone's calling your name".

Pride live in 1990 as special guests to 220 VOLT.

Pride live in June 1989. The song, "Don't trust your luck" is unreleased.
