Halifax’s Quiet Parade have returned with “Thunder,” their first new song to be released in nearly three years. Rather than an AC/DC bone-shattering storm of an anthem, Quiet Parade (as their name might suggest) gently lull you in like sound of rain and the soft roll of thunder in the distance with this questing tune.
