Dredg (officially spelled 'dredg' with a lowercase "d") is a progressive alternative band from Los Gatos, California. They formed in 1993 and released their own independent EP's "Conscious" and "Orph" before 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 gained retail space, Dredg acquired an almost immediate cult following, owing much to "Leitmotif's" unique sound and concept. "El Cielo", their second album, is also a concept album which took the band soaring to new heights. On June 21, 2005, Dredg's third album, "Catch Without Arms", was released with much anticipation. They released their live concert album "Live at the Fillmore" a year later.
They started performing in clubs while still in high school, and have come close to perfecting their art-rock/progressive sound. Dredg's music can be described as haunting and powerful, if not a bit inspirational to some. They are a prime example that progressive music is still around today and Dredg continues to become more and more popular. All three of their albums have excellent songs, such as Movement I: @45N. 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 Sang Real from "Catch Without Arms". Additionally, many of these tracks can be found performed live on "Live At The Fillmore." A fourth studio album has been rumored to be under way, but no further information is available.
