Dads In The Park

Officially forming in 2019, indie rock band Dads In The Park immediately captured attention with the release of their debut song ‘Lullaby’ on YouTube. This track, initially developed in 2017 by Ahmad Ashik and Ishmam Selim Chowdhury, gained significant momentum after Tajwar Ul Islam contributed a distinctive guitar part. The band, spearheaded by lyricist and frontman Ishmam Selim Chowdhury and guitarist Tajwar Ul Islam, swiftly garnered an unexpected level of popularity, with ‘Lullaby’ surpassing 100,000 views in a short period. This initial success established their commitment to prioritizing quality and maintaining a high standard for their subsequent work.

Building on their breakthrough, Dads In The Park solidified their distinct sound through a discography that includes notable songs such as ‘Pareidolia,’ ‘Afeenolove,’ and ‘Remembrance.’ Their single ‘Running on Empty,’ released in November 2021, further showcased their signature style. Primarily featuring English lyrics, their compositions delve into universal themes of human relationships, vulnerabilities, and love, deliberately crafted to resonate with a broader international audience beyond regional confines. This strategic approach underpins their ambition to transcend geographical boundaries and position Bangladeshi indie bands for global competition. Dads In The Park has extended their reach through significant international performances.

Their name, ‘Dads In The Park,’ symbolizes their philosophy: Ishmam and Tajwar are the ‘dads,’ their English songs are their ‘children,’ and the international stage is their ‘park,’ bringing them satisfaction as their music reaches a wide audience.
