History

The band released their debut single "Gaia" in October 2013. [3]

The band released their debut EP Natives in 2015. [4] They released their second EP, Any Colour You Desire in May 2018. The EP was launched at The Workers Club in Melbourne. [4]

In January 2022, Pridelands released their debut studio album, Light Bends. On the new record, Pridelands drummer Joe Lipsham said, "As we went into the studio to record our debut record, we were eager to take a risk in how we wanted it to sound. We aimed to create 11 stylistically very different tracks, each one written using a different writing style to the previous. We wanted a record that felt like you aren't listening to the same song twice; a record whereas all the tracks sit together, it becomes a cohesive yet ever-changing journey for the listener. And we feel we achieved more than we had hoped for with Light Bends." [5]
