ALCATRAZ Production
"indie music is more fun"
indie artists that rock ...
 

"... France's proXima are an unusual bunch ...'hello my old friend' is an enjoyable BEATLES-ish number whereas 'punk is dead' resembles ERASURE with guitars - and what a guitar ! ... This band are certainly different",
NOISY Magazine, UK
"... the second proXima track 'punk is dead' sounds completely different : gone are the RADIOHEAD and BEATLES references, and in are the GUIDED BY VOICE style beat. Although impaired by a suicidal title (punk is dead), this is a really good track",
The MAG-ME, UK
"Wow, this is not your average rock guitar album. proXima are from France, and their approach doesn't reflect anything i've come across before, with the possible exception of DEUS ... and the vocal harmonies are beautifully executed ... some of this is wonderful ...",
LiveClub, UK
" ... a great comparison would be the sound of Irish band ASH, though there's a different vibe to this band's sound, that sort of infused with the melodicism of the BEATLES, and the pop skills of NIRVANA ...",
hEARd Magazine, AUSTRALIA
