Bandbio
Formed in 2012 Bad//Dreems have risen from their humble origins in an Adelaide fridge warehouse to become one of the most vital guitar acts in the country. Their early notoriety as an unmissable live act saw them tour extensively across Australia, UK and the US, before releasing their debut LP Dogs at Bay in 2015. The band has since added to their discography with three further full lengths, including 2023’s critically acclaimed HOO HA! produced by Melbourne music luminary, Dan Luscombe (Amyl and The Sniffers, Courtney Barnett).
Their distinctly Antipodean sound draws influence from alternative guitar bands of the 70s and 80s, such as The Saints, Coloured Balls, The Replacements and the Go-Betweens. They have been likened to the more contemporary Melbourne cult act Eddy Current Suppression Ring, who are a stated influence.
Their songwriting is the result of the collaboration of Ben Marwe (vocals) and Alex Cameron (guitar), with an aim “to grind away the veneer of comfortable Australian suburban banality to reveal the bizarre, the dark, the twisted and the beauty that lies beneath…
We try to capture the experience of the everyday person but find within it with the romance of the lost highways the Never-Never, the terrifying vastness of the outback, the sordid colonial origins of Australia and the dystopian future that awaits”
