Newdad - Madra

Awash with spiralling guitars and a hypnotic bassline, singer/guitarist Julie Dawson finds inspiration in TV show 'Euphoria', as she ruminates on the destructive relationship of characters, Rue and Jules: a storyline that she herself gravitated towards. 'Madra' (meaning 'dog' in Irish) is an 11-song, guitar-stacked visceral outing, as singer/guitarist Julie Dawson embarks on a journey of self-exploration, self-sabotage, and reflection. Soaked in dysfunction, Madra searches for solace in pain, tackling themes of bullying ('Where I Go'), self-medication/depression ('Madra', 'Let Go'), destruction ('Change My Mind', 'White Ribbons'), co-dependency ('Nosebleed') and resistance ('Nightmares').
