Spring time 2001. After deciding to make a final attempt to find the perfect band, the two friends met Niklas Pettersson at a party. After talking about music a little while, he joined the band on the spot, bringing his keyboard and vocal skills to the sound. The three were soon joined by bass-player Richard Brattlund who added more power to their pop. An old friend played drums for a while, but wanted to pursue an academic career. When the four members told people they were looking for a drummer, literally dozens wanted to show them what they could do. Many came down to rehearse, a lot of which were excellent drummers. It looked like it was going to be a tough call but when Fredrik Hultgren sat down behind the drums, they were blown away. Instantly, everyone knew this was it. No words were spoken. The five members took the band name Dreamboy, a name they felt represented both the intense sadness and uplifting spirit of their songs.

With no pretense of fame they set about writing songs with three important elements: melodies, harmonies and energy. Their popular success has been almost by accident.

What became their first demo was originally recorded as a friend’s final project for engineering school. The friend then floated the recording as a way to find a job. Their friend did not get the job he wanted, but the songs themselves caught the attention of music producer Ronald Bood. Immediately recruiting the band to his small label, four new recordings were made and a proper EP was born. National radio, college radio and MTV Nordic all picked up the two singles from the EP. The critics were thrilled about this punk version of the Beach Boys, focusing on the strength of their song writing and their by now well-established reputation for being an explosive live act. The EP was followed by a single and more touring, and after playing on their first big festival in Sweden, critics wrote that Dreamboy’s 30 minutes on stage was “magic...the best act of the whole festival”.

The band continues writing and performing as they always have, with sincerity, intensity and a commitment to creating the music they love. They are now ready to release their first full-length album. And it’s still all about melodies, harmonies and energy. They hope you find it as exciting as they do

"We feel excited, enthusiastic and proud to release our EP in Japan in co-operation with Thistime Records. It sure is a long way from Sweden toJapan, but fortunately pop music is universal. Neither one of us in the band have ever been to Japan, so to go there would be a dream come true for all of us. All we know about Japan here in Sweden is that it is a great country with great people, so obviously our feeling about releasing our EP there is - great! And like an inverted post card, we just want to say: Wish we were there!

Love / Dreamboy"
