About
The (r)evolution of Dream Nails continues. Dream Nails [Mimi Jasson, Lucy Katz, Anya Pearson] are asking different questions nowadays. They made their name with energised, empathetic, yet politically conscious punk, bursting onto the scene with their 2020 self-titled debut before signing to Marshall Records for their 2023 follow-up, Doom Loop. Those qualities are still intact, but now their lens has taken on a softer, yet no less astute, focus. They’re becoming inquisitive, they’re searching for optimism, and crucially, they’re recalibrating.
With bassist Mimi Jasson stepping up to take on lead vocals. Becoming a tighter-knit unit has galvanised them all over again as they searched for new avenues for their creativity. “The world that we live in is so complicated, and the old ways of trying to challenge it or make art about it aren’t working for us anymore,” says drummer Lucy Katz. “We wanted to regroup and find a new kind of creative and spiritual response to our times.”
Championed on UK radio by Zane Lowe, Steve Lamacq (Femme Boi was winner of the round table!), Tom Robinson, Jack Saunders, Adele Roberts, John Kennedy. Their latest extended release ‘Doom Loop’ had four-star reviews from Kerrang!, NME, Clash, DIY, Upset, Dork; and they’ve had prominent features in Gay Times, Guardian & Metro.
In October 2024 they released their first single as a three-piece, ‘Control’, which was produced by Grammy winner Adrian Bushby. The single landed at a very impressive #2 on Kerrang Chart the week of release.
