NewDad have shared a brand-new single – their final from upcoming debut album Madra.

Ahead of the Irish quartet’s highly-anticipated first full-length – which is released on January 26 via Fair Youth/Atlantic – NewDad have unveiled the beautifully delicate White Ribbons.

Says vocalist/guitarist Julie Dawson of its meaning: “This song is about how no matter how much shit you put your body through, it always finds a way to fix itself, and that’s a very beautiful thing. White Ribbons is a metaphor for my skin; something that always heals my wounds. It’s like a promise to my body that I will be kinder to myself.”
