Dream State

About

Dream State doesn't just perform; they detonate. This Welsh quartet, fronted by the ferociously captivating Emma Bending, crafts a sonic assault that's equal parts catharsis and chaos. Their sound, a volatile cocktail of melodic hardcore, post-hardcore grit, and nu-metal energy, draws heavily from bands like Deftones and early Paramore, yet forges a uniquely visceral identity. Emerging from South Wales, Dream State rapidly ascended from local stages to international tours, fueled by raw intensity and unflinching honesty. Their 2019 debut album, "Primrose Path," served as a brutally candid exploration of mental health struggles, relationship turmoil, and personal demons, resonating deeply with a generation grappling with similar issues. Singles like "Twenty Letters" and "Hand In Hand" became anthems of vulnerability and defiance, solidifying their position as a vital voice in the modern rock landscape. While facing line-up changes, Bending's unwavering commitment to Dream State’s vision remains a constant. They’ve toured extensively, sharing stages with the likes of Enter Shikari and Architects. Currently, Dream State continues to refine their sonic palette, hinting at a darker, more experimental edge while retaining the emotional core that initially propelled them to prominence, ensuring their music remains a potent force for years to come.
