Last night, Aussie heavy music fans were given the devastating news that beloved band Dream On Dreamer are calling it quits after 11 years in the business. But, they’re not leaving us without a parting gift – a new album and a farewell tour.
The new album is titled What If I Told You It Doesn’t Get Better, which sounds about right for how we’re feeling right now.
On top of that, they’ve also given us the first taste of their fifth and final album, in the form of lead single ‘Feel So Empty’ – again, sounds about right.
“When we were writing this song I guess it came from a pretty low place,” explains Zachary Britt in a statement.
“We’ve all been through a lot of shit in the last few years and it’s all manifested its way onto our next release in some way or another. I think being in that state of mind needs to be given a name or something to embody it. Some call it their demons. In this song I named the darkness Reaper. Sometimes we gotta crash and burn all the way to rock bottom before we can push up again. There’s been times I hope to see the bottom. I’ve been ready to look the reaper in the eye and give him this weight. One piece at a time. ”
They’re also saying their farewell to fans across the country with a massive 15 date tour throughout April and May, kicking off in Cairns and wrapping up in Belgrave.
What If I Told You It Doesn’t Get Better is out Friday, 27th March.
