About NewDad

NewDad are an indie rock band from Galway, formed in 2018. Their music has been compared to The Cure, Beabadoobee, and Just Mustard by NME magazine. Atwood Magazine wrote of the group: "The band oozes personality with cynical but honest lyrics, colorful visual components, and poignant messages about coping with the, albeit painful, formative experiences." The group have appeared at the Green Man Festival in Wales, the Pitchfork Music Festival in Paris, and on the Irish television program Other Voices.

NewDad released their debut album MADRA in January 2024. It was recorded over two weeks in March of 2023 in Rockfield Studios in Wales. The album received good reviews from many sources, with NME stating "Confident and propulsive, the shoegaze-pop of this Galway four-piece is a truly rewarding experience". It also made our top 10 albums of 2024!
