DREAMKILLERS will release a new EP, Pockets of Water, on May 7

Brisbane thrash-punk stalwarts DREAMKILLERS will release a new EP, "Pockets of Water", on May 7 in Australia and New Zealand, distributed by MGM. It will also be available for download through iTunes on said date.

"Pockets of Water" was recorded at Blackbox Studios with acclaimed producer Jeff Lovejoy (POWDERFINGER, THE CRUEL SEA), who has been instrumental in the production of earlier DREAMKILLERS recordings. Mastering duties took place at Modern Mastering by Dave Neil. According to a press relase, "While there's plenty of fast, metallic clout, there is also plenty of melodic phrases, and of course the poetry of frontman Jobson cannot be described in words. Make no mistake, this is punk with a purpose — with all its danger intact... no fashion-driven 'nu-core' here!"

The "Pockets of Water" CD launch party will be held on Saturday, May 8 at The Hi-Fi in Brisbane, with special guests LYNCHMADA, PUNXIE AND THE POISON PENS and MAGNERTRON. The CD, which will be in a very colourful digipack format, will be available at the show, as will new merchandise. The show will also be filmed for footage for an impending filmclip, and there's a few other surprises in store.

DREAMKILLERS' last full-length album of original songs, "Character Building Helltrip", was released 12 years ago through Roadrunner Records. This album also marked the end of an era for that particular lineup, at least on the studio front.
