NewDad have opened up about their relationship to their home country of Ireland.The Galway quartet, who are now based in London, spoke about their connections to their home and how elements of its culture, from its language to its mythology, are reflected in their music for NME‘s The Cover. Their forthcoming debut album ‘Madra’, for example, takes its name for the Irish Gaelic word for ‘dog’.“We have a great saying in Ireland: ‘Is fearr Gaeilge bhriste, ná Béarla cliste’, which means ‘broken Irish is better than clever English’ – more people should make the effort to speak it and encourage others to do the same,” said drummer Fiachra Parslow.“I think being over here has made me even more connected to the language.
