What can I say? An absolutely amazing gig. Redhook were a very pkeasent surprise, and a lot of people felt the same. Dream State blew everyone away, as always. Jessie is such a ball of energy, and always involves the crows. You can see the whole band are loving it. And I've never seen anyone make a sandwich in the middle if a song! Absolutely amazing. The fact Jessie also makes time to meet the fans afterwards, even though she mist be exhausted as she never stops, is brilliant too (Redhook also did this).

We went to an event where there were 3 bands playing at the Hairy Dog, Derby. It was the first time I'd seen any of them, We are Sovereign, Red Hook and Dream State. We are Sovereign were amazing! Lauras vocals were terrific and strong. She had a wonderful stage presence and the guitarists and drummer were excellent. I'd see them again. Red Hook had come from Australia and had strong stage presence. Dream State was also a great band live. The female vocalist and their instrumentalists were also amazing.

Formed in Carmarthen in 2014, Dream State made their mark early, with breakout single "White Lies" catching fire online and debut EP Recovery (2018) racking up millions of streams. That same year they were named Best British Breakthrough at the Kerrang! Awards, and their debut album Primrose Path (2019), produced by Enter Shikari's Dan Weller, cemented their place in the UK rock scene. They've also brought their explosive live show to Reading & Leeds.
Founding guitarist Aled Evans has since led the band into an exciting new chapter, joined by vocalist Jessie Powell, bassist Jake Bowen and drummer Tom Connolly. EPs Untethered (2023) and Still Dreaming (2024), along with the single "Words Unsaid", blend atmospheric electronics with crushing heaviness, while Jessie switches effortlessly between big, melodic hooks and powerful screams. Having toured with the likes of Caskets and As December Falls, Dream State remain a thrilling live prospect for anyone who likes their rock loud, heartfelt and honest.
