Brooklyn post-punk trio Mr. Dream has just released their debut album Trash Hit and it is a fine slab of hard rock that reaches for and occasionally achieves some anthemic heights that recall The Pixies, Nirvana and 70s punkers The Skids, Stiff Little Fingers and a wee bit of The Birthday Party.
Mr. Dream is Adam Moerder (vocals, guitarist), Matt Morello (vocals, bass guitarist) and Nick Sylvester (drums, producer). Moerder and Sylvester are both rock journalists and they’ve managed to do something few rock writers pull off: rock it like they talk it.
