Posted on January 11, 2016March 9, 2023 By Sammy Younan No Comments on Hidden Gem: Babe Parade “Swims”

Girth Radio Presents…

I can’t articulate what it is about bands from California they have this Sun-soaked sound that makes my east coast living heart happy.

It’s easy to name bands from California, just as easy it is to name bands from New York City. Still add Babe Parade to your Cali list with this deft entry:


On their bandcamp page their genres include chill, groove, synthpop and Los Angeles. That’s it right there for me: I’m sold!

Fun Facts

  • From Los Angeles, California
  • Swims is from their Lush EP released on September 29, 2015
  • Lush EP artwork by Victoria Vonderheyden
  • Expect a unique Girth Radio interview with Babe Parade…real soon!
