The Dreamkillers is a raw and fast, larrikin punk/metal band from Brisbane with socially-aware lyrics and a history stretching back to a combination of members from Insane Hombres and a band called the Mystery of Sixes that featured Jobson and was famous as the only Australian act ever to be signed to the Alternative Tentacles label.

While the Dreamkillers sound lurched closer to hardcore than to metal the band nonetheless gained a sizeable following among the metal crowd, particularly in their home state although forays across the border always proved successful.

The Dreamkillers' music was often aggressive, often humourous and live shows were energetic with displays of full frontal nudity from Jobson a common feature. The band formed in 1991 with Paul McCullum on drums, Terry McDougall playing bass and Sid Roberts as second guitarist along with Jobson and Witcher and recorded a brace of scorching EPs. They supported the likes of Body Count and Sepultura before undergoing numerous line-up changes which saw Beasley and Smith enter the picture.

The Dreamkillers had all but officially disbanded when they were picked up by Roadrunner Records, then recovened as a four piece for the Character Building Hell Trip album, only to split for good shortly afterward. Poison Carnival is a re-release of the first two EPs.

In 2006, Jobson reformed the band with members of Brisbane punk band Psychotic Lemmings and under the name Jobson's Dreamkillers made a one-off appearance at the annual 4ZZZ Market Day. Reaction was so strong that guitarist Ross Cobb was recruited and the Dreamkillers has subsequently continued. 

Scratching at the Windows is a compilation of older songs and The Dark Years was a one-take studio recording of new tracks. A new EP emerged in mid-2010 featuring Antz Palmer (Post Life Disorder) although he has since left.

Les has since reclaimed his artistic ownership of the Dreamkillers back catalogue and has released the aptly titled "I'm Not Fuck'n Sorry" which is available through the current Dreamkillers management - Broken Tree http://wearebrokentree.com/store/music 

2012 has seen massive changes to the band and 2013 sees Jobson take control of the wheel giving Dreamkillers fans exactly what their after, new music and more live shows around Australia.
