Daddee Serves Up Synth, Satire and Sharp Songwriting in Debut Album.
Dublin-based band Daddee will release their debut album, ‘Weekend at the Martello‘, on 16th July 2025, across all major streaming platforms.
Daddee’s music is a rowdy, synth-fuelled take on modern rock, dripping with personality.
Combining heavy rock’n’roll with lyrical wit and storytelling, Daddee’s music is a cocktail of dark humour and social commentary. Taking cues from Queens of the Stone Age, LCD Soundsystem, Courtney Barnett, and Viagra Boys, the band crafts a sound that’s at once raw, melodic, and unpredictable.
‘Weekend at the Martello‘ is a concept album set in a seedy pub by the sea — The Martello.
Each track offers a glimpse into the life of a different, often troubled or absurd, patrons. The result is a vivid gallery of characters rendered with dark humour and blistering energy. Several of these personas are portrayed in the album’s striking artwork.
The album was recorded primarily in a DIY home studio/bedroom, with drums tracked at Beardfire Studio, and mixed by Gary O’Reilly.
