These guys got props from Playboy. You know that you drool over the centerfolds late at night, when you are researching about bottle nose dolphins off the west coast of Chile. The Nadas kind of remind me of Toad the Wet Sprocket while borrowing Jay Faraar's cd art work. They have great songs and the kind of sound that plays in the background when you get dumped by your girlfriend at the coffee shop. Now that I found you, should be featured on an episode of Smallville when Lana rides away on her horse. The Nadas are a talented band with a bright future. If the Gin Blossoms had a baby with Jars of Clay, then The Nadas would be the result. It's mellow rock, that you can pop in the cd player why you take a roadtrip with your girl and her friends. After you are in misery, and they are fast asleep, do yourself a favor and put in The Doors. Feel Better is the PMS song of the year. Not the corporate review you were looking for? Try reading Playboy for such mantra, ok nevermind.
