Acid Dad first appeared in the New York scene at the outset of 2015. After spending the year
self-releasing demos recorded at their studio in upstate New York, the band garnered local
praise from the likes of Oh My Rockness, Brooklyn Vegan, Consequence of Sound and
Stereogum. After releasing their debut EP in February of 2016, followed by their first sold out
show at Baby’s All Right, Acid Dad embarked upon a two month tour of the United States.
Fresh off their first tour, which included numerous SXSW performances as well as appearances
on Daytrotter, Audiotree and Jam in the Van, the band started writing their debut LP. While
recording, Acid Dad continued to play alongside their contemporaries including Thee Oh Sees,
Diarrhea Planet and Night Beats. At the outset of 2017 the band recorded their debut LP which
was engineered, mixed and co-produced by Jonathan Schenke (Parquet Courts, The Drums,
The Men). Now, in 2017, the band continues to tour as they prepare the release of their first
record.
