What BAD//DREEMS makes

Topics australian-rock, suburban-life, mental-health, class-issues, music-video

Taking inspiration from the isolation they felt growing up in the suburbs of Adelaide, Bad//Dreems songwriting aims to strip away the veneer of comfortable Australian suburban life to reveal the bizarre, the dark, the twisted and the beauty that lies beneath. With authenticity at its heart and a desire to challenge the status quo, Bad//Dreems’ whip smart observations are layered with themes of class, masculinity, mental health and the contradictions of modern Australian life. That tension between toughness and tenderness is what makes Bad//Dreems stand out. As guitarist/songwriter Alex Cameron says “We wanted to show that it was ok to like football and poetry.”; a legacy which has given permission for a new wave of Australian rock to be both literate and loud, introspective yet raw and rough, paving the way for acts like Amyl and The Sniffers, The Chats and Pist Idiots.
