Lead guitarist and songwriter for Australian rock band Bad Dreems, Alex Cameron, joins me to talk about the classic debut album from Manchester post-punk icons Joy Divison 'Unknown Pleasures', the relationship between mental illness and creativity, why depression is often romanticised by music fans, depersonalisation and how he tries to carry the ethos of Joy Division through his own music.
