Album Review: Bad//Dreems - Dogs At Bay

Jonty Czuchwicki
StarStarStar

"A jam-packed blue-collared Aussie rock belter."

More Bad//Dreems Bad//Dreems

The first thing you'll notice about the first long-player from Bad//Dreems is how well their sound has been captured in the studio. 

The drums explode with primal energy and the guitars have a massive rock'n'roll tone. The bass trundles matter-of-factly while Ben Marwe explores his voice in strange and interesting ways. It's a holistic move forward from previous EP releases. Just take the opening power of New Boys, the rock solid vibe of Naden or the fresh take on seminal track Dumb Ideas for instance. At 12 tracks this a jam-packed blue-collared Aussie rock belter.
