Some quotes / chroniques :
"(about the song Hey Little Princess) Kicking straight into action with a basic typical powerchord rhythm section ... the heavy punk influences of ProXima are immediately very clear..."
BAND Engine, UK
"... Frances proXima are an unuasual 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
"... proXima provide the albums highlight with hello my old friend ...", Silent Uproar magazine, USA
"Les groupes français peuvent-ils connaître la réussite des groupes scandinaves ? proXima en a les moyens lensemble possède le grain rock serré, cohérent grâce à la limpidité de compos solides et efficaces. Chant impeccable, six-cordes remarquable, son béton, un petit moment de bonheur ",
Guitarist Magazine, France
"... a great comparison would be the sound of Irish band Ash, though theres a different vibe to this bands sound, that sort of infused with the melodicism of the Beatles and the pop skills of Nirvana. ..."
hEARd Magazine, AUSTRALIA
" ... wow this is not your average rock guitar album. proXima are from France, and their approach doesnt reflect anything ive come across before, with the possible exception of dEUS ... and the vocal harmonies are beautifully executed ... some of this is wonderful ... "
LiveClub, UK
" ... avec son rock puissant mâtiné de pop et de métal, proXima pourrait bien faire sensation sur la scène Française ... "
Rock Sound, France
" ... avec leur rock débridé évoluant quelque part entre les Beatles, Joe Satriani, Radiohead et Duran duran, les Français de proXima ne passent pas inaperçus … la presse spécialisée française et aussi anglaise salue d’ores et déjà son originalité et son énergie ... "
Musique Info Hebdo, France
" ... un album qui devrait ravir critiques et public de chaque côté de la Manche ... "
Campus Mag / After , France
