The Prids are an American post-punk/indie rock band based in Portland, Oregon,[1] led by former couple David Frederickson and Mistina La Fave.[2][3] AllMusic described them as specializing in "a moody form of indie rock influenced by '80s college radio stalwarts",.[1] and their influences include the Smiths, Unrest, the Jesus and Mary Chain, Built to Spill, Wire and Sonic Youth.[2]

The Prids are known for following a strong DIY ethic, including the home recording of several of their records, booking their own tours and running their own Portland label collective, This-A-Way Records.[4]
