Benny and Alex join BETOOTA TALKS to discuss their 5th and final album - what many critics are describing as a modern pub rock masterpiece, Ultra Dundee.  After 15 years of gruelling tours, BAD//DREEMS have always been praised by the rest of Australia's long-suffering rock music scene for never mixing their words about the raw deal that artists receive from labels, streamers and venues. In this interview, the boys explain why they've kept at it. And how, while juggling families and real jobs, it has all been worth it when they pull together an album like this.
