Bad//Dreems are an Australian rock band who have made a significant mark on the contemporary music scene with their gritty blend of garage rock, punk, and pub rock influences. Hailing from Adelaide, South Australia, the band formed in 2012 and is comprised of Ben Marwe (vocals, guitar), Alex Cameron (lead guitar), James Bartold (bass), and Miles Wilson (drums). Known for their raw, unabashed sound and earnest storytelling, Bad//Dreems' music reflects a deep connection to the Australian landscape and psyche, often weaving social commentary into their lyrics.

Since their emergence, Bad//Dreems have released a series of impactful records that showcase their evolving sound. From their debut album "Dogs at Bay" in 2015 to the pointed social observations of 2017's "Gutful," the band continues to resonate with fans for their unpolished authenticity and powerful live performances. Notable recent releases include "Doomsday Ballet" (2019), a further exploration of their dark and melodic sonic palette, and the reflective track "Morning Rain," both showcasing the group's ability to balance melody with a raucous energy. Their heartfelt rendition of "Black Fella/Whitefella" for triple j's Like A Version is a testament to their willingness to engage with significant cultural issues through music. With a growing catalog of anthemic tunes and a reputation for high-energy live shows, Bad//Dreems have cemented themselves as a potent force in the Australian rock scene.
