Those Who Dream is an Australian alternative duo consisting of siblings Josh and Hazel Meyer. Emerging from Perth, they have cultivated a distinct 'multimedia' identity, handling everything from music production to 3D animation and film direction themselves.
Their sound is a modern evolution of pop-punk and power-pop, characterized by high-gain guitars, polished electronic elements, and a focus on 'cyan' as a visual and conceptual anchor. The duo's rise was significantly bolstered by TikTok and a strong digital presence, leading to high-charting releases on Apple Music's rock categories. Critically, they are noted for their 'nakedly honest' approach to lyrics, specifically targeting themes of insecurity and neurodivergence. Their career arc shows a transition from local indie experimentation to a globally-connected 'cult' following, positioning them alongside other 'genre-less' alternative acts who prioritize aesthetic world-building. Their influence web includes 2000s emo-pop, modern hyperpop textures, and surrealist cinema, making them a bridge between traditional rock performance and digital-first creative projects.
