Prides are back with their first music since releasing their acclaimed debut full-length in the summer of 2015. And 'Rome' is the Glaswegians doing what they do best: rambunctious, almost '80s percussion creates the pumped-up atmosphere before Stewart Brock's lead vocal brings emotionally-charged vigor to the glossy pop-rock outing. "Lyrically it's a plea. To stay, to try, to forgive, to work towards something bigger and better. It was a joy to be writing again, it's been too long," he explains. Too long indeed, but Rome wasn't built in a day as they well know; it's good to have Prides back. -G.O'B
