Dream State are a band who we had our eye (and ears) on for a long time and when we found out they were heading to Australia to EXCLUSIVELY play at UNIFY Gathering 2019, we had to be there to grab one of their first ever Aussie Interviews down under and the end result is here.

Join Interviewer/Podcast Host Browny as he chats with frontman CJ Gilpin and guitarist Rhys Wilcox about their rising fame, the pressures of covering a Linkin Park song (which they nailed here) and how mental health struggles assist them in writing emotionally hard-hitting songs. The interview first premiered in our Wall of Sound: Up Against The Wall UNIFY Podcast Special here but check out the video interview for the first time below!
