NewDad is an emerging indie band that has quickly carved out a unique space within the alternative music scene with their dreamy, shoegaze-inflected sound. Hailing from Galway, Ireland, the group consists of Julie Dawson (vocals/guitar), Sean O'Dowd (guitar), Fiachra Parslow (bass), and Áindle O'Beirn (drums). They stepped into the spotlight with a string of single releases, showcasing a knack for crafting atmospheric tracks that effortlessly blend melancholic lyrics with ethereal melodies.

Since their inception, NewDad has gained acclaim for their captivating live performances and a series of releases that resonate with a growing fanbase. Songs like "Waves" and the introspective "Blue" have solidified their standing as one of the most promising acts in the indie circuit. The band's nuanced exploration of themes such as youth, love, and existential angst, coupled with their hazy, nostalgic soundscapes, have drawn comparisons to the likes of Slowdive and Cocteau Twins. With tracks like "Nightmares" and "In My Head," NewDad continues to expand their sonic palette, promising a rich and evolving discography for years to come.
