Próxima Parada

If the shaggy young men of Proxima Parada were to claim Dave Matthews and Jack Johnson as their sources of roots music, they would be believed. The San Luis Obispo quartet inherited the same kind of good-time, easy-going acoustic neo-hippie vibes of the aforementioned dudes with whiffs of Grateful Dead. Even when they sport death metal paint for a music video, an earnest, winsome innocence pervades patchouli-fueled grooves.
