jumping on social media to announce the release of ‘Bad Dream’, the band posted: “‘BAD DREAM’, the alternate and original version we recorded first, out this Friday. We love this version, so we wanted you to have it.”

Recorded at Los Angeles’ Sunset Sound during the making of Model, the trio’s third album, this take on ‘Bad Dream’ has a darker edge with crunchy guitars and a Queens of the Stone Age rock vibe.

The release of ‘Bad Dream’ comes as the lads finished up their UK tour and are now preparing for their five-date Australian tour this December.
