Dreamboy has always been about three things: melodies, harmonies and energy. They have now released their first full-length album “It Means The World To Me” in Sweden on October 17th and in Japan on December 19th. The album was critically acclaimed as a sensational debut. The first single, "What Have I Done", became a big radio hit in Sweden on national Swedish radio P3 as well as college radio and local radio stations. As this is written, the second single, "Stars", has become a radio hit as well. Dreamboy have performed live on several TV-shows in Sweden (TV4, TV8, MTV) this fall and winter, some of these performances you can watch on this web page.
Starting out in 2001, what became the band’s first demo was originally recorded as a friend’s final project for engineering school. The songs soon caught the attention of music producers and record label executives. Four new recordings were made and a proper EP was born. National radio P3, 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, their vocal arrangements, 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 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 very same day the band created a MySpace profile and uploaded some songs, three different Japanese record labels contacted the band and a few months later a maxi-EP was released in Japan with great success.
The band continues writing and performing as they always have, with sincerity, intensity and a commitment to creating the music they love. And it’s still all about melodies, harmonies and energy. They hope you find it as exciting as they do.
