You never call me anymore,
I never call you anymore.
We got places to be.

Crashing through the foggy banks of Nova Scotia’s South Shore, Rain Over St. Ambrose returns with “Dedication.” The single is the first new music from the band in over three years and is available to stream on all digital platforms. Click HERE to listen.

The band celebrates the track’s launch with two shows this month. Dates are as follows:
March 16 – Yarmouth, NS @ Haley’s Lounge
March 29 – Halifax, NS @ The Seahorse Tavern

A frenetic drum fill sets the pace for the pop-rock quick-hitter out of the gate. Wasting no time, a bouncing bass riff and ethereal guitar lines coalesce under verse lyrics reflecting inevitable changes acknowledged through the callous passing of time. Brief omens of levity and hope – presented both in the anthemic choruses and the Dire Straits-influenced bridge – infuse “Dedication” with a silver lining; an anchored reverence in the face of transformation.

“Dedication” was recorded at New Scotland Yard in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia by Thomas Stajcer (Joel Plaskett, Erin Costelo, Mo Kenney), and mixed at the Castle of Doom in Glasgow, Scotland by Tony Doogan (Wintersleep, Mogwai, Belle and Sebastian).

Quiet Parade unveils their brand new single, “Thunder.“ The track is available to purchase on Bandcamp and iTunes, and is also streaming right now on your platform of choice. The band has also coupled the single’s launch with a lyric video. Watch it on Facebook or YouTube.

Recorded at New Scotland Yard in Dartmouth, NS, “Thunder” finds Quiet Parade leaning hard into their signature fog rock style, reveling in winding guitar lines, fading choruses, and words that go straight for the heart. Punctuated by chiming down-tuned electrics, haunting backup melodies, and crashing rhythms, “Thunder” is a story of longing for answers to questions never asked; a coastal-soaked sense of searching, mired in mist.

The follow-up to their French-language debut, Nous Étions Icitte, “Thunder” is the first brand new music from the group in nearly three years.

On the heels of the new song, Quiet Parade also announces several shows throughout the Maritimes including performances at the Halifax Pop Explosion and Nova Scotia Music Week.

Dates are as follows:

October 17 – Halifax, NS @ The Seahorse Tavern (Acadian Embassy Showcase at HPX 2018)
October 20 – Halifax, NS @ The Stubborn Goat (HPX 2018)
November 03 – Truro, NS @ Marigold Cultural Centre (NSMW 2018)
November 23 – Charlottetown, PE @ Baba’s Lounge

Quiet Parade‘s French-language debut – an EP titled Nous Étions Icitte – is available today via Acadian Embassy.

Buy the album on Bandcamp or iTunes, and stream the record via Spotify, Apple Music, or your platform of choice.

Nous Étions Icitte features four songs that originally appeared (in English) on the band’s award-winning self-titled album, translated to French.

“I wanted this record to be an artifact that represented a very specific slice of Acadian life in Nova Scotia,” Quiet Parade songsmith Trevor Murphy tells Noreaster Online. “I wanted it to speak about and represent Par-en-Bas (a geographical region that encompasses several Acadian communities around Yarmouth, NS) in a way I had not heard before and create something that represented our voice for once.”

This week, Murphy also stopped by Radio-Canada’s Le Réveil for an interview to chat about the origins of Nous Étions Icitte. Listen to the segment here: http://bit.ly/QP-RadioCanada

The band celebrates the release of the new album with an early show at The Carleton tonight featuring special guest Gabrielle Papillon. 7pm-9pm, $10 at the door. RSVP here: https://www.facebook.com/events/548479768844901/

The show is co-presented by Acadian Embassy & le Conseil communautaire du Grand-Havre – CCGH.

Quiet Parade lance son premier album en français – en EP nommé Nous Étions Icitte – aujourd’hui. Le mini-album est disponible via Acadian Embassy.

Achetez l’album sur Bandcamp or iTunes, et écoutez-le via Spotify, Apple Music, ou sur votre platforme de choix.

Nous Étions Icitte reprend quatre chansons originales (anglophones) extraites du disque homonyme et primé du groupe, traduites en français.

« Je voulais que ce disque soit un artefact qui représentait une tranche très spécifique de la vie acadienne en Nouvelle-Écosse, » dit Trevor Murphy, auteur-compositeur pour Quiet Parade en entrevue avec Noreaster Online. « Je voulais parler et représenter Par-en-Bas (une région géographique qui englobe plusieurs communautés acadiennes autour de Yarmouth, en Nouvelle-Écosse) d’une manière que je n’avais jamais entendue auparavant et créer quelque chose qui représentait notre voix pour une fois. »

Cette semaine, Murphy s’est presenté sur l’émission Le Réveil sur les ondes de Radio-Canada pour une entrevue afin de discuter les origines de Nous Étions Icitte. Écoutez le segment ici: http://bit.ly/QP-RadioCanada
