Dream Year was a math rock band based in Starkville, Mississippi. The band was a short lived group project between members Niki, Quin, and Drew who all sought to push their limits in creativity and technicality as musicians during their time in college. The band lasted for less than a year before members Niki and Quin departed following their graduation, but was able to perform a few shows throughout the state and gained a loving fanbase due to their twinkly style of both somber and energetic math rock.
