For flipturn, success didn’t arrive overnight. The band, comprised of Dillon Basse (lead vocals, guitar), Tristan Duncan (lead guitar), Mitch Fountain (synth, guitar), Madeline Jarman (bass), and Devon VonBalson (drums), grew steadily with every gig, from college house shows in their home state of Florida to festival appearances at Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, and Austin City Limits, to national recognition from Jimmy Kimmel Live, ABC News, and The Washington Post – earning the Jacksonville-based band an international reputation as an indie rock powerhouse. By the time flipturn released their debut album, Shadowglow, they’d become genuine road warriors while still in their mid-20s, supporting the record with a nonstop string of tour dates. That dizzying experience inspired the band’s second release, Burnout Days. Caught halfway between 21st century indie rock, New Wave-inspired nostalgia, and rhythmic alt-pop, Burnout Days finds the beauty that exists between five friends, even in times of burnout.

With the release of their new album Into the Way, Próxima Parada is set to play lots of new uplifting tunes this year. Próxima Parada means ‘next stop’ in Spanish and Portuguese. Taking the bus in their home of San Luis Obispo, at every stop they’d hear, “Now approaching, próxima parada…” After years of next stops touring around the US, their songs have become more and more focused on personal growth and groove, where each player adds just what’s needed and makes up a piece of the whole. Their live shows are a hell of a lot of fun—improvised sections, hard-hitting solos, and lots of love.
