Dads is an American math rock band from Piscataway, New Jersey. The band, currently on indefinite hiatus, is composed of guitarist/vocalist Scott Scharinger, bassist Ryan Azada, and drummer/vocalist John Bradley.

History

Dads originally formed in the summer of 2010 as a trio consisting of guitarist/vocalist Scott Scharinger, drummer/vocalist John Bradley, and bassist Michael Nazzaro. The band quickly gained the attention of the emo revival scene. Dads soon decided to part ways with Nazzaro as they found it easier to connect as a two-piece.[1] Upon releasing several extended plays, the band released their debut LP, American Radass (This Is Important) in 2012 achieving minor commercial success, along with critical acclaim. Through extensive touring, the band built a national audience and released an EP in 2013 entitled Pretty Good via 6131 Records, which led to the band charting on various Billboard charts for the first time.[2][3] The following year, Dads released their sophomore effort, I'll Be the Tornado which reached 17th on the Billboard Top Heatseekers album chart.[4][5] Dads went on an indefinite hiatus in June of 2015.
