The Dream Vampires is a collaborative project based on a long standing relationship between CEO and Label Owner/Producer Michael Puskas and a talented bunch of musicians and vocalists who all came together to realize a creative vision that a multitude of musical style fused together with high energy production and strong identifiable lyrics could become the ultimate studio band with no intention to ever go out and take it live. From time to time new songs are written, produced and added to an assortment of online websites to spread the word about this highly fresh and unique musical outfit. Special thanks go out to all who collaborated on the project including, Melissa Pollard, Chris Vaughn, Nick Steckl, Campbell MacFee, Tristan Chase, Matt Lefroy, Michael Behm, Jeff Consi and David McLuney at Atlantis Studios in Melbourne. Watch this space for further musical additions shortly.

Smoke & Mirrors (Chris Vaughn)
Here is the most commercial and radio friendly tune on the album. With strong verses and sweet harmony's to hooky chorus structure complemented by sweet acoustic guitars and three part harmony's the song unfolds an all too familiar tale and delivers with great results. The outro is bold and beautifully delivered with some great vocal rounds which complement the lead vocal melody perfectly. This song will be the first radio single from the album.

Pop Rock

Take You Down (Melissa Pollard)
An interesting mesh of musical feels and quirky guitar based imagery combined with a powerhouse beat structure and robust raw production and ably delivered by session vocalist Mel Pollard with a little help from its writer/producer Mike Puskas on the chorus side of things.

Modern Pop/Rock
h h

Strange Days (Chris Vaughn)
A strong well structured tune with a bit of a Deep Purple vibe to it. Great vocal delivery and some sweet harmony work throughout.

Hard Rock
h h

H20 (Chris Vaughn / Nick Stecki)
Here's a song that takes you back to the whimsical days of Sgt Pepper. A track filled with interesting twists and turns that challenge the listener to define what is going to happen next. Structured with loads of reverse tape loops, delayed tap vocals and powerful quirky lyrics with a real sense of a spaced out vibe and very very different to anything available in the market today.

Ambient Pop
h h

Shifting Sands (Instrumental)
A beautiful soundscape of middle eastern tones mixed with contemporary Spanish guitar and fused together with strings and a dulcet piano feel.

Instrumental
h h

On My Own (Chris Vaughn)
A very simple track with a really straight forward structure and arrangement with the focus completely on the vocal delivery and the highly identifiable lyrics. Great harmony work and a few surprises at the end.

Acoustic Rock
h h

Visions of You (Chris Vaughn)
Here is a really powerfully driven tune with a strong sense of itself and conveying an image and theme of pure betrayal. Filled with a big chorus hook and some great twists and turns in the structure. Its a solid tune and a fitting addition to the album.

Alternative Rock
h h

My Hidden Truth (Ian Abrahmson)
Here is a strong introspective track with a great identifiable storyboard and filled with a big chorus hook and a powerful vocal delivery with some great rounds and harmony's

Power Ballad
h h

Looking Glass (Melissa Pollard)
A more mellow style of female pop/rock tune with a big rhythm section and some sweet vocal hooks in the tracks melody. Although very simple in arrangement the song packs a real punch from the bridge through the outro.

Alternative Pop Rock
h h

Twisted Around (Nick Stecki)
Here is a beautifully structured power ballad and ode to my father (RIP) Its filled with emotion and desire for change and identifies with people who have lost a loved one. Beautifully arranged and delivered with some great vocal harmony's and interesting slide guitar work

Modern Rock
h h

My Painted Lady (Nick Stecki)
Here is a more layed back track with some interesting twists and turns in the structure that are helped along with a strong dynamic vocal delivery. The storyboard speaks very much for itself and the production moves between a slower and more somber tone to a high energy outro with a lot of urgency and a power rock feel to really drive the tune

Rock Ballad
h h

Travel Diary (Instrumental)
Here is a basic music interlude that will tie various tracks on the album together. Featuring some great slide guitar and great rootsy feel throughout.

Alternative Retro and Psychedelic
h h

Midnight Dreary (Instrumental)
An opening theme for a new Vampire movie for 2010 that has the log line, Dracula meets the Doors. Beautiful sound scape that builds a well crafted tapestry of sounds that invoke some amazing dark images and mixed to perfection.

Instrumental Rock
h h

On My Own (Instrumental)
Here is a reprise of On My own and just the instrumental piano version which really has a lot of impact and shows off the obvious musicianship of the performer. Perfect for any major motion picture.
