With their second album ‘Altar’, NewDad stop diluting their feelings and start letting them hit at full force.

Speaking of the band’s debut, Julie says: “Madra (meaning dog in Irish) explores various difficult parts of the human condition and the idea of the title is that these feelings that come up are sometimes ones you can’t escape - feelings that follow you around like a dog. We had an amazing team around us who helped bring these songs to life and we’re so excited for this album to be out in the world. We hope that people connect with the songs and that Madra can be a comfort to everyone who listens.”

Check out the new single below; the record's full tracklisting reads:

Angel Sickly Sweet Where I Go Change My Mind In My Head Nosebleed Let Go Dream Of Me Nightmares White Ribbons Madra

NewDad will tour the UK and Ireland early next year: FEBRUARY 24 Leeds Belgrave Music Hall 25 Manchester Band On The Wall 26 Glasgow St Luke’s 28 Dublin Button Factory MARCH 2 Birmingham O2 Institute 3 Bristol Trinity 5 London Koko
