Mayday Parade is headlining the Sad Summer Festival. Ahead of the tour kick-off, they’ve dropped a brand new single. “Thunder” is an outtake from their 2021 album What It Means To Fall Apart.
Sad Summer Festival should be on any pop-punk fan’s radar. Mayday Parade is heading out with Waterparks, Neck Deep, State Champs, and Hot Mulligan. The tour kicks off Friday in Sacramento at Heart Health Park and runs through August 5th at Phoenix Raceway in Phoenix Arizona.
“Thunder” was a collaboration with highly esteemed producers Zack Odom and Kenneth Mount at ZK Productions. Mayday Parade guitarist Brooks Betts had this to say about the track.
Thunder’ is a song I wrote about being in a long-term relationship, feeling like at times the fire is gone but that it’s still worth holding onto. Don’t give up! All relationships are tough but the good ones are worth it.
-Brooks Betts
