BMX Bandits are back with their twelfth studio album, their most musically ambitious so far - 'Dreamers On The Run'. Analbum dedicated to all the outsiders out there.BMX Bandits were formed in the Scottish ex industrial town of Bellshill in 1985 by Duglas T Stewart and Sean Dickson.When Sean left to concentrate on his other band The Soup Dragons so began BMX Bandits, not as a conventional band ofthe same 4 or 5 faces but as an ever growing extended musical family which has included members of The Vaselines, ThePastels, The Pearlfishers and Teenage Fanclub over the years.In 2014 Duglas formulated the idea for a new BMX Bandits album that would be called 'Dreamers on the Run', about livingin two worlds; the world of dreams and of music while trying to survive the real world. Duglas started writing songs for thenew album and even booked a couple of shows to perform these new Dreamers songs live. Then Duglas got ill, his mentalhealth spiralled out of control and this led to physical health problems. The project was put on hold, the planned live showsand recording were cancelled. So now, ten years later than originally planned 'Dreamers on the Run' is here. "Together we worked on some of the songideas and themes that I had a decade ago, completing them together and both of us wrote new material that complementedthe albums narrative." The album was mastered by Duglas original partner in crime Sean Dickson, now known as Hifi Seanand features guest appearances by giants of the International Pop Underground Jowe Head and Calvin Johnson.
