NewDad have unveiled a new video for 'Misery'
Their major tour includes a headline show at London's O2 Forum.
Irish alt-rock trio NewDad have released a new video for their single 'Misery', a cut from their second album 'Altar', out now.
The band have also not long confirmed their participation in Primavera Sound 2026, and their debut performance at Coachella next year.
The video for 'Misery' was developed by creative partners Rory Mullen and Peter Eason Daniels. Frontwoman Julie Dawson elaborates on the track, saying: "It’s a song about how sometimes it’s easier to stay in a miserable and uncomfortable place rather than actually trying to make changes and improve your life. Basically it’s easier to mope rather than to fix things. Lyrically the drama is definitely heightened just because it felt like it had to be to match the energy of the song, I felt like I could have real fun with this one."
'Misery' follows previous singles 'Roobosh', 'Pretty' and 'Everything I Wanted'.
