NEWDAD

NewDad's debut EP Waves, was released in early 2021. Dark and stormy with undeniably beautiful moments amid the mammoth guitars, the EP acted as a perfect introduction to the world NewDad have created for themselves and picked up fans across the globe. There’s a heaviness to the music, which the band pin to a love of The Cure, Pixies, and Slowdive among others, that transcends local scenes or languages. But it’s not just in the feedback that NewDad find their truth, Julie’s songwriting brings a subtlety to their sound, weaving personal relationships and influences from the worlds of literature and cinema to add depth

In the short term NewDad are excited about getting out andperforming for the new fans they have picked up in the past year. “I had no plan b and dropped out of college to make music because it’s the only thing that makes me happy,” Julie says. “Knowing that we get to do this all the time and that people are responding to it makes me feel complete.”Work has already begun on a debut album and the band harbor dreams of scoring a movie or TV series, too. All in their early 20s, the four members of NewDad are keen to explore and push themselves as far as they can go. They’re a band who work on a sensory level and where emotion is the boldest colour on their palette. The results are transportative as NewDad take you to an alien landscape dreamed up in the most domestic of locations: a house share in the west of Ireland. It’s a trick of subtle magic but one the band make look easy.NewDad make you believe
