I recommend them to anyone looking for a rebirth in great progressive music. They transcend many genres with their art-rock styles and manage to be one of the deepest and most talented modern progressive bands today. All three of their albums have excellent songs, such as Movement I: 180W, Lechium, and Movement II: Crosswind Minuet from "Leitmotif", Of the Room, Whoa is Me, Same Ol' Road, and Canyon Behind Her from "El Cielo", and Bug Eyes, Ode to the Sun, Catch Without Arms, Matroshka, and Sangreal from "Catch Without Arms".ĭredg is a band with a completely unique sound. They are a prime example that progressive music is still around today and DREDG continues to become more and more popular. DREDG's music can be described as haunting and powerful, if not a bit inspirational to some. They started performing in clubs while still in highschool, and have come close to perfecting their art-rock/prog sound. On June 21, 2005, Dredg's third album, "Catch Without Arms", was released. "El Cielo", their second album, is also a concept album. There has also been a movie planned for release as a music video for the entire album, though the project has been stalled.
After the album gained retail space, DREDG acquired an almost immediate cult following, owing much to "Leitmotif's" unique sound and concept. Prior to that, it had been self-released by the members of the band. Their first studio album, "Leitmotif", was released by the Universal music label on September 11, 2001. Formed in 1993 in Los Gatos, California, USA - Suspended activity in 2014ĭREDG (officially spelled 'dredg' with a lowercase "d") is a progressive alternative band from Los Gatos, California.
