Biography

Los Gatos, California, USA (1993 – present)

dredg is a band from Los Gatos, California, USA formed in 1993. Their first studio album, Leitmotif, was released by the Universal music label on September 11, 2001. Prior to that, it had been self-released by the members of the band. After the album hit music stores, Dredg acquired an almost immediate cult following thanks to Leitmotif’s unique sound and concept. There has also been a movie planned for release as a music video for the entire album, though the project has been scrapped due to the death of the lead actor. El Cielo, Dredg’s proper Interscope debut, arrived in autumn 2002, and Deftones producer Terry Date was at the helm for their 2005 effort Catch Without Arms. A video for the single “Bug Eyes” was released. In the spring of 2006, Dredg played on the Taste of Chaos tour. In November of 2006, Dredg released “Live at the Fillmore.”

Industry Demos is a collection of four songs from 2001 that Dredg recorded before they were signed to impress record labels. The four songs are “Of the Room”, “Redrawing the Island Map”, “Running Through Propellers”, and “The Papal Insignia.” Despite the fact that the band has not spoke out about these songs, and has not played them as of late (although “Propellers” has made an appearance on setlists prior to the release of CWOA), these songs remain very popular with fans. Of the Room was rerecorded and released on Dredg’s second album El Cielo.

    Chuckles was so mediocre. I'm sure they could have made a record like Chuckles if they knew how to do it. It wasn't what they went for, but rather it was their execution that fell flat. It sounded like a band that didn't know what the fuck it was doing in that genre, it was so rushed. Guess there was good reason prior albums took 4-5 years to release. As much as I always wanted to like Mr. Squeezy, or Chuckles, it's not gonna happen.

    Completely agree with StartRevolution. If I listen to Dredg shuffled, I somehow end up skipping Chuckles songs. Leitmotif will ever remain my favourite.

    I agree you can get whatever direction you wish to get.. that being said chuckles is a musical abortion, a pathetic attempt to do what? Getting out of the "label" fans and media put on you? I like to think that but I fear they really wanted to make a record like this.. they thought they were able to push their music over what they did in the last years but miserably failed. You can find a bad rating from either a metal magazine or an electronic website. It's just bad. Nobody really needs to fear anything by saying that it's garbage. We faced it and painfully accepted it. I expect more.. and not an el cielo part2.. as i said you can play whatever genre you want and still make a good work.

    I honestly don't care what direction dredg go, as long as what they do ends up good. The reason i didn't enjoy Chuckles as much wasn't that "OMG dredg went Pop! Fuggin Zellouts!!!", it's just that it simply wasn't a Great album by itself. It wasn't terrible as some overreacting fans said it was, but it certainly wasn't incredible either. It had plenty of great tracks, but as an album, it lost some steam. I tend to just base the greatness of an album by how it hold IT'S OWN WEIGHT, instead of basing the criteria on the artist/s themselves, as any kind of hype/bias, whether good or bad, is detrimental to the rating of the album. dredg have been a consistently Incredible band, so i guess people now have an overwhelmingly positive bias towards their output, therefore multiplying tiny mistakes tenfold. Although i guess that is just a testament to the high marks set by records like Leitmotif, El Cielo, CWA and TP,TP,TD.

    Hoping that the next record is like a continuation of Chuckles, just because the fanbase's reaction would be priceless.

    El cielo and catch without arms are the best dredg albums. By far, I'd say.

    I long for something that can match up to the beauty and consistency of CWA.
