ed desetletjem so Dreamwalk doma poželi prve uspehe in pod založbo Multimedia Records izdali album Far Away From L.A. (2001). Z videospoti so kotirali visoko na lestvicah Videospotnic , nominirani so bili za nagrado Bumerang, po številnih nastopih doma in v tujini pa so v Izštekanih z Juretom Longyko odigrali svoj repertoar tudi v akustični izvedbi. V želji po mednarodnem občinstvu so se z drugo ploščo Three Days Later (2004) osredotočili izključno na angleška besedila, razlike v interesih pa so privedle do prijateljskega razhoda z založbo. Skupina je stroške celotnega albuma in deloma tudi videa za skladbo »What If« krila iz lastnega žepa. Fantje so si že takrat srčno želeli ameriške turneje, a je bil takšen projekt prevelik logističen in cenovni zalogaj za samostojno domačo zasedbo. Po manjši evropski turneji so se za daljši čas umakni s scene, ter se posvetili osebnemu življenju in študiju.

Prav v času odsotnosti pa so skladbe z albuma na sedaj že ukinjenem glasbenem portalu Download.com, takrat enem vodilnih spletnih medijev za izmenjavo glasbe, dosegle neverjetnih 200 tisoč prenosov in skupino na alternativnih lestvicah postavile ob bok svetovno znanim imenom, kot so Fall Out Boy, Paramore, Silverstein in Underoath. Po večletnem sanjarjenju je tako glasba Dreamwalk dobila noge in v svet odšla kar sama.

Lani je album na spletu pritegnil pozornost založbe Brain Fuse Records, ki je na eni izmed kompilacij izdala skladbo “Simple”, takrat pa so se začeli tudi dogovori o podpisu pogodbe. Ploščo Three Days Later je skupina, tokrat pod založbo Brain Fuse Records, februarja letos ponovno izdala na spletnih mestih iTunes in Amazon.com.

Na slovenski glasbeni sceni so se Dreamwalk pojavili na prelomu stoletja, ko je leta 2001 pri založbi Multimedia Records izšel njihov prvenec Far Away From L. A., ki ga je pospremil videospot za singel Sijaj. Ta je, tako kot njihov videospot za skladbo Lonely boy, na takratnih glasbenih videolestvicah kotiral visoko, nekateri mediji so skupino označevali za eno prvih neo grunge skupin pri nas, ki se naslanja na zvok ameriške skupine Green Day.
 
  
Leta 2004 je izšla njihova druga plošča Three Days Later, zanimanje pa so vzbudili pri avtorju in voditelju priljubljene oddaje Izštekani Juretu Longyki in se tako junija javnosti predstavili še v akustični različici. Drugi album, ki so ga v Münchnu posneli v sodelovanju s producentom Jurgenom Yogijem Langom, je prinesel nov zvok, ki so ga opredelili kot zmes alter rocka in emo cora, plošča pa je bila takrat med najbolj prodajnimi domačimi glasbenimi proizvodi v angleškem jeziku. Marsikdo je takrat težko verjel, da gre dejansko za slovenski bend, ki pa je nato kmalu za nekaj let prenehal delovati.

Zdaj se na sceno vračajo z močno založbo Brain Fuse Records, ki verjame, da lahko zasedbi Dreamwalk uspe tudi čez lužo, za kar ji obljubljajo tudi močno medijsko podporo. Skupina trenutno pripravlja nove skladbe, s katerimi se bodo spomladi na snemanje znova odpravili v Nemčijo k že omenjenemu producentu Langu. Prva nova stvaritev naj bi poslušalce razveselila že maja letos.

Established in 1999 by a group of then teenagers, Dreamwalk is a slightly uncharacteristic band for these parts. Not only in that they have managed a relatively impressive international success right from the start, their mix of "skatepunk" or pop punk, neo grunge, emocore, and alternative rock is also rarely played around here nowadays. Their fashionably produced and written songs, along with quality lyrics and catchy melodies, mark the band as one of the more internationally minded amongst the young Slovene rock musicians.
