----------------------------------------
The beauty and bite of NewDad’s debut album ‘Madra’ made the Galway band one of the biggest new hopes around. Bringing a youthful zest to storied influences such as Slowdive, The Cure and Cocteau Twins, their amalgamation of classic ‘90s aesthetics attracted a diverse and still-growing audience. Teenagers threw themselves around in the mosh pit with care-free abandon at their headline show at London’s Koko, Glastonbury, Radio 1’s Big Weekend, and even at places as far flung as Tokyo and Shanghai in front of 1600 fans.
And NewDad’s future is now just a step away as they prepare to release their new EP ‘Safe’. Their core shoegaze/dream-pop sound elevated with a swaggering new self-confidence, a tight, masterly control of hooks, and broader touch points such as Pavement and Sonic Youth. In short: their ethereal elements feel more alluring than ever; the visceral moments are more selective and dynamic but hit just as hard; and their songs are simply a leap in sophistication beyond ‘Madra’.
