The sound
The musical character
Wave Parade is a San Diego-based indie rock project formed in 2017 by alumni from West Beast, Archery for the Blind, Ricksha, and Skyline Union. Known for a hazy, looped guitar aesthetic built on delay and reverb, this band crafts sun-drenched yet introspective songs that ride a wave between surf-rock energy and shoegaze texture. While they haven’t released a full-length studio album, their singles and DIY demos flow through Bandcamp and Apple Music, capturing the band’s evolving sound and DIY spirit.
