Following the release of their debut EP ‘Waves’ via Fair Youth Records, West of Ireland indie-rockers NewDad have announced more dates for their 2021 Irish tour.

Four-piece alternative band NewDad emerged from Galway at the beginning of last year, self-releasing their first string of tracks 'How', 'Swimming' and 'Cry'. Since then they have been streamed nearly two million times on Spotify alone. Previous singles 'Blue', 'I Don’t Recognise You' and 'Slowly' have all been added to the A list at BBC 6 Music, where the band did a session for Steve Lamacq last year.

Further support has come from Annie Mac on her Radio 1 Future Sounds show, Jack Saunders, who interviewed the band on his BBC Radio 1 Show, plus Matt Wilkinson at Apple Music.

The group performed on the Hot Press Lockdown Sessions Y&E Series in April, impressing audiences with their laidback lo-fi sound. Revisit our March 2021 interview with NewDad here.
