MELODIC PUNK/HARDCORE ABEND FEATURING:
PRIDEBOWL (Melodic hardcore punk - Sweden/USA)
Pridebowl formed in Sweden in 1994 with Aaron Goulding (vocals), Henrik Nilsson (lead guitar), Stefan Glendell (rhythm guitar), Oskar Andersson (bass), and Martin Bodin (drums). Between 1994–1998, they released Long Distance(EP), Drippings of the Past (LP), The Soft Song (EP), No Better, No Worse (split EP with Adhesive), and Where You Put Your Trust (LP) on Bad Taste Records (Warner/Chappell).
In 1997, Matthias Jagborn (R.I.P.) and Patrik Sundin joined on guitar, co-writing Yesterday’s End (LP). Pridebowl toured worldwide and became the first foreign punk band to play in China before disbanding in 1998. Around 2002, Aaron reformed the band with Corey, Wayne, Matt, and Todd to release Tired (EP).
In 2023, Aaron revived Pridebowl once more—this time with Levi Dixon (USA), Andy Constantinou (UK), Heath Rowley (AUS), and Juan de Lange (SA). They played the Red Bridge Festival in Quebec on June 8, 2024, and released Hostage on People of Punk Rock Records. In late 2024, the band released their first live album, Picking Up the Pieces, Live at The Mill.
