Bad//Dreems - Dogs at Bay (2015)

Bad//Dreems believe that rock is best when it’s simple and pure—just three urgent chords, a surging beat and heartfelt vocals you can feel. That’s been the Adelaide outfit’s guiding philosophy since they began churning out their melodic brand of guitar squall in 2012, through a slew of small releases and an incendiary, increasingly talked-about live show. This year marks the release of their debut full-length, Dogs at Bay, an electrifying and muscular display of all that makes them one of Australia’s most exciting rock bands. We picked Bad//Dreems for our 2015 New Artist Spotlight.
