Irish alt-rock quartet NewDad are very hot on everyone’s lips in the UK (and of course Ireland) right now and we can see why. With their debut album Madra already gaining them critical acclaim, we’re excited to see what 2025 will bring for this young band.
NewDad’s latest single “Under My Skin” is a shoegaze-infused delight channeling the likes of Wolf Alice and Lime Garden. The song has been featured on the latest soundtrack of the game Life Is Strange, a game the band grew up playing themselves and consequently, a “real full circle moment” for them.
The irresistible appeal of songwriting is the opportunity to give voice to the ineffable. For NewDad singer/guitarist Julie Dawson, music has always served as a safe haven for articulating what she struggles to express elsewhere—a place where she can explore her deepest emotions without compromise.
“Under My Skin” and debut album Madra are in stores now.
