NewDad are an Irish alternative band from Galway, Ireland, known for a hazy blend of indie rock, dream pop and shoegaze textures. Emerging in the late 2010s, they drew early attention with the EPs "Waves" (2021) and "Banshee" (2022), whose moody guitars and introspective songwriting earned strong word of mouth and significant media interest. Building on this momentum, they released their debut album "MADRA" in 2024, further refining their atmospheric sound with memorable hooks and layered production.
Key tracks that helped establish their reputation include "Blue", "I Don't Recognise You", "Ladybird", "Say It" and "In My Head". The band have continued to tour and develop their catalogue, becoming one of the notable contemporary Irish acts operating at the intersection of indie and shoegaze.
