Melbourne’s fave rave three-guitar rock’n’roll power poppers The Prize have today
digitally release the new single & video “Had It Made”, just a month before they
head off with their friends the Chats for their second European tour. 

The single & video was premiered overnight on East Coast US site Paperface Zine,
together with an interview with drummer Nadine Muller. Check it out here – [The Prize: “It Sometimes Feels Like We Haven’t Done That Much but Then When You Step Back and Have a Look at the Opportunities We’ve Had and the Things We’ve Got to Experience, I Feel Really Lucky!” (gimmepaperface.com)](https://facebook.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7468cc72c4dbd0d828cf87a0a&id=fa4ee57e92&e=7f3088bce0)

“Had It Made” was one of the first songs the Prize wrote, and it’s been a fan favourite
since they first started playing out a couple of years ago, around the release of
their much loved “Wrong Side of Town” EP, which garnered attention from pop pundits
here and abroad.

Featuring bigger guitars and bigger hooks than anything they’ve ever done, “Had 
it Made” is a taste of the band’s long-awaited debut album which will be released
in 2025. And it’s the first Prize recording to feature new bass player Ethan Stahl(
formerly of UK band Chubby and the Gang).

The band, which also features guitarist Carey Paterson sharing lead vocals with 
Nadine, together with guitarists Joseph Imfeld and Austin Haire, will launch “Had
It Made” on Sunday November 3rd with a matinee show at The Tote, with special guests
Melbourne rockers, Dumb Punts, and new sensations, Gnome.

Since forming in 2021, The Prize has established itself as one of Melbourne’s premier
rock and roll outfits. Funneling vocal soaked hooks through a three-guitar onslaught
and powerful rhythm section, this unique blend of power pop and rock and roll has
earned them notice the world over.

Their debut EP “Wrong Side of Town’ sold out on its first day out and has since 
become a sought-after release. They’ve since put out a 7-inch single “First Sight”
on Antifade Records and Drunken Sailor, as well as a split 7 inch with The Unknowns
on Bargain Bin records.

As a premium live act with the tunes to back it up, the band has regularly found
themselves opening for legendary groups like the Sunnyboys and Pavement. It all 
culminated in their first international outing in late 2023 supporting King Gizzard
and the Lizard Wizard and the Murlocs on their European and UK tours with a number
of headline dates across Europe and the UK to great acclaim.  

They will be heading back to Europe and the UK in November this year as main support
for The Chats.

The Prize’s much-anticipated debut album is set to be released in 2025.
