Bad//Dreems Return With New Single “See You Tomorrow” & Announce New Album “HOO HA!”

Adelaide’s Bad//Dreems have announced that their new album, HOO HA! will be released via Farmer & The Owl & BMG Records on May 19th. The Australian post-punk inspired four-piece have now released their new single, See You Tomorrow, that is accompanied need by an explosive new video akin to the unnerving 15-minute cameo of Lieutenant Bill Kilgore in Apocalypse Now. Replacing Robert Duvall with a meth’d up Australian tradie fresh from an early knock, and switching the beaches of Vietnam with the dankness of Hindley Street at 1am on a Saturday, Bad//Dreems remind us of the pressure-cooker planet we currently find ourselves living in.

Like a history lesson on speed, vocalist Ben Marwe spews out irrational one liners that spar with each other, ducking and diving between references of childhood memories, Eastern Russia, and Channel 7’s ‘Kochie’. Picture Jackson Pollock’s version of a WWF Royal Rumble with Mötorhead and Sleaford Mods on the soundtrack, inspired by the painting. See You Tomorrow is what it could sound like. Filmed on a farm in the rural suburb of Glenorie, NSW by young director Kaius Potter, the film clip draws on themes of cultural mockery through crafted visuals that are symbolic of dream-like theatrical installations. Shot by award winning cinematographer, Tyson Perkins, the clip dives headfirst into the irreverent themes put on offer by the lyrical content within the song. 

Drawing on their myriad strengths and influences for album number four, Bad//Dreems have emerged from the morass of these past few years to deliver one of their most immediate, vital, and confident records to date. More than ten years into their career, Bad//Dreems are now set to enter their newest era with the sort of confidence and energy that most bands never manage to attain. Passionate, powerful, and pertinent, HOO HA! is a sign of what’s to come for the group, and an indication that things will never lessen in intensity.
