Interview by Kris Peters
Adelaide rock outfit Bad Dreems have taken themselves on somewhat of a musical journey over the course of their four albums.
While all firmly entrenched in rock, Bad Dreems have experimented within the confines of the genre, testing their own musical tastes along the way in the elusive search for musical gratification.
While each album has maintained the rock DNA that is the backbone of Bad Dreems' music, fans, critics, and the band themselves are unanimous in their appraisal of the recently released Hoo Ha!, universally in agreeance that Bad Dreems have finally found their niche.
Vocalist Ben Marwe and guitarist Alex Cameron sat down with HEAVY to go over the album.
"It's been really good," Cameron smiled at the early reception for Hoo Ha!. "The last album was 2019, so it's been quit a while but people like this album and the reception has been good. I think people get where we're coming from with the music and the songs. It's been pretty satisfying."
We ask the pair to explain Hoo Ha! from a musical point of view.
"We were going for what we feel comes naturally to us," Cameron measured, "which is Australian rock and roll. We had gone a little bit away from that perhaps over time and we just wanted to... because we hadn't been able to play together that much during Covid we just wanted to get together and play the kind of music that we first started playing, which is rock and roll, not complex, driving, energetic and raw. It came together really quickly because of that and I think now we've been together ten years and we know what the band does well. We just wanted to stick to that."
In the full interview Ben and Alex talk about the more direct nature of this album, the singles release and how they sonically cover the whole album, how Bad Dreems have changed musically from their debut album to now, being invited by Midnight Oil to play two shows in England in 2019, their own upcoming national tour and more.
