Wave Parade

The name Wave Parade vibrates like the moment the ocean meets the sand. Founded by former members of West Beast, Archery for the Blind, Ricksha, and Skyline Union, (all of which have collective bodies of work on their own). Each member creates and adds to a mix of surf and psychedelic garage rock that swells as eloquently as the waves where they were formed; San Diego, CA. On their 2021 DIY approach to recordings, a woozy blend of delay, reverb and ethereal guitars swim under the harmonized vocals while the drums and bass create a formidable rock for the music to splash off. During the strange months of “lock down”, Wave Parade wrote songs about perspectives, observations, isolation and introspection, while melodic traces of shoe-gaze and surf rock evokes an ode to the garage-inspired bands they grew up listening to. It all makes for a sonic view into their eclectic, otherworldly, musical domain.
