Playful, bold, and unapologetically fun, SAD DADS are carving out their own corner of the indie scene with a sound that thrives on not taking itself too seriously. 'Tattoo Gun' is a track that is packed with charisma, pairing punchy riffs with lyrics that are as humorous as they are memorable.
Since emerging earlier this year, the band has been met with a growing wave of enthusiasm from local tastemakers and gig-goers alike. Known for their electric live sets and unpredictable stage presence, SAD DADS are fast becoming a must-see act in the South Coast's thriving alternative scene.
Catch them live at their upcoming headline show at The Prince Albert, Brighton. Tickets available here.
"bags of indie-surf energy and a fine array of sunglasses, don’t let the fact that they don’t appear to take things too seriously belie the talent in the band." - Breaking Glass Magazine
"the tightrope walk between humour and pathos is what makes the band's lyrics so compelling" - Fame Magazine
"Tongue-in-cheek, radiantly catchy and enormously fun" - Back Seat Mafia
"The uniqueness of their sound lies in the lyricism, able to perform with a tongue-in-cheek, self-aware attitude... driven, infectious and a stroke of brilliance" - Music Crowns
“It would be easy to cast Sad Dads aside as a novelty act, but the sheer energy and emotion they generate… makes any meaningful review irrelevant. It’s time to dance.” - Brighton Source
Forged in the fire of cohabitation, the ember sparked between two best friends Dan Noble and Owen Bullock, SAD DADS capture a sparkling and vibrant brand of alternative-post-punk-inspired-indie comparable to early Squid. The (affectionately coined) ‘Dads' have quickly made noise with sell-out hometown shows and early support from BBC Radio 6 Music and Radio X. With a tongue-in-cheek approach and refusal to take things too seriously, SAD DADS keep it fast, loose and fun.
With members drawn from across Brighton’s music scene, SAD DADS have played standout sets at The Alt Escape and 234 Festival, marking themselves as one of the city’s most exciting new bands.
