DAD ROCKS! Announces Tour to include CMJ & Iceland Airwaves in Support of New Album, Mount Modern, Available November 8th + Beyond Race premiers new music video!
“Danish guy with beard, Dad Rocks, is a folkish sage, beautiful — kind of jazzy — and rather unusual fingerpicked guitar lines embellish songs of great, mellow heart” – BBC“…Dad Rocks! (don’t sleep on the ! people) marries swirling lo-fi country folk with beats, dubs and noisemakers of the people (whole lotta handclaps) to create a sonic spitball that while likely find favor with fans of Cake, the late Captain Beefheart and anyone else with a slightly off-kilter world view.” – My Old Kentucky Blog
Listen to Dad Rocks! 'Weapons' (featuring Broken Social Scene's Charles Spearin) on Soundcloud
Dad Rocks! is coming to the U.S.! Dad Rocks! is coming to the U.S.A. for CMJ just after his shows at Iceland Airwaves! We're so psyched!
Icelandic/Danish songsmith Snævar Albertsson is no rookie, as he has been playing and touring Mimas
for a while now, but this will be his U.S. premiere under the Dad
Rocks! moniker. And under exciting circumstances, we might add, which is
to celebrate the release of his debut full-length Mount Modern, which
becomes officially available via Paper Garden on November 8th.
Pre-order Dad Rocks' release of Mount Modern via the PGR store HERE
If
you plan on being around New York for CMJ (it's gonna be rad, duh) be
sure to catch his set at our Paper Garden Records showcase! If not, fret
not! Check the dates to your left for Dad Rocks! full US tour schedule

Dad Rocks has just released a brand new music video, which takes a
toungue-in-cheek approach to the modernday music fan and teaches us why
we shoiuldn't steal music, kids! The track, entitled "Weapons" also features Broken Social Scene's Charles Spearin, so keep an ear out for the trumpet! Check out the premier over at BeyondRace.com
