Dream Nails have gained recognition with their energised, empathetic, yet politically conscious punk. Curious and searching for optimism, the band immerses themselves in the creative process and aims to connect through inclusivity. Their interest in stories of strength and resilience, combined with their activism, is reflected in their distinctive sound, both on record and as they perform on festival stages across the UK and Europe, as well as at events like SXSW in the US.

The band returns with their new studio album, You Wish, out on 6th February 2026. Written over the past year in response to a period of intense global change, the album sees the band unveil a revitalised sound that is more introspective, experimental, spiritually curious and creatively vulnerable.
Created with producer Ali Chant (Dry Cleaning, Katy J Pearson, Sorry, Yard Act), the band broke down traditional roles to collaborate across lyrics, melody, and production, creating something intimate and primal while remaining rooted in the myriad shades of punk that colour their signature sound. The record retains their sharp, witty lyricism while drawing from heavier, more melodic influences, such as the Breeders, Wolf Alice, and Mannequin Pussy.
"This is a punk album about resilience", shares guitarist Anya Pearson, "each song a story of strength. It's called 'You Wish' because it perfectly captures our punk swagger counterpointed with our cosmic optimism."
