On 12 May 2026 New Dad’s tour hits The Record Bar, with Freak Slug continuing in support. Freak Slug’s British indie pop and lo-fi approach, showcased across songs like “Blue Eyes”, “Drive” and “Disorder”, relies on understated percussion, chorus-heavy guitars and emotionally frank lyrics. New Dad follow with a set that broadens those ideas into more expansive shoegaze-inspired soundscapes while still keeping choruses sharp. Together they sketch a continuum from bedroom-crafted sketches to fully realised band arrangements, making this stop a neat encapsulation of how contemporary indie pop can move between intimacy and scale within a single bill.
