Dredg (or how the fuck it should be written ;-)) question

[Feanor IV]

I saw some of you guys talking about a band called Dredg or Dredge or sth. Could you tell me a few things about them? What do they play? +recommend a list of some songs which will give me a pretty complete idea of what the band plays......? thanks

 

[Morpheus]

hehe, nice one. Just look at what Mariner is listening to the last days haha. Nah, just kidding

check out this thread: http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=108233&highlight=dredg

it contains some opinions as well as the url of the official homepage (though this one is a weitd one). Maybe you better look at the german one and just go the Audio section where yer can listen to some samples.



Have Fun!

No, don't do this to me, I can't afford anymore music and tomorrow I'll go look for AND again, most likely in vain again and need comfort shopping, arghhh, they better be good.

 

[Don Corleone]

yeah they are VERY good, rest assured

 

[Frodnat]

Dredg are great... no doubt.

 

[cedarbreed]

Dredg ranks third or fourth in my top5 albums of the year :Spin:

 

[Achernar]

Dredg is a good band, but as I said before, EMO like voice doesn't quite fit my taste and the lad does it sometimes. But I think I can live with that. I also have the vids for "Same Ol' Road" and "Of The Room" which are both great vids for great songs.

I don't get it when you speak of emo voice, in which songs ? because I can't stand emo voices too but I didn't notice any in Dredg

 

[Achernar]

Well, what I really mean is that his voice sometimes reminds me of Glassjaw...

 

[Usherette]

maybe on Leitmotif you can see some emo recalls...

anyway (as my avatar should suggest), i simply love this band. Hoping one day they'll tour Europe

Funny, never noticed that. I hate the voice of the guy from Glassjaw and I love the voice of the guy from Dredg, but I've only listened to El Cielo. Maybe it's different on the previous releases.

 

[Mariner]

yeah!!! :hotjump: i would put 'el cielo' on 1 for last years releases. ill check the other albums when i can afford it. i dont know about these so. but songs i can recommend you from 'el cielo' are:

same ol' road / sanzen / 'delta' (in fact its the triangle, the greek letter for 'd' you know) / of the room

these 4 are boss like! go give it a shot! :hotjump: :hotjump:

 

[Crack Hitler]

That El Cielo deffo is amazing, get it. NOW.

Talking 'bout Glassjaw, I dunno, I've always thought the guy has quite unique voice and style. I like their stuff.

 

[Achernar]

look at this. Damn, how i hate these Pitchfork pseudo-intellectual reviewers...

"When they don acoustic guitars, they can’t help but rip off “Paranoid Android”"



There's that fucking radiohead again Did someone else but me NOT hear anything like that on El Cielo?

 

[Achernar]

yeah, me. it seems to me that everyone's gotta rip something from radiohead these days.

 

[sol83]

can yous suggest 3-4 songs from that el cielo thingie?

 

[Achernar]

Sure mate:

Scissor Lock
Triangle(?)
Sorry But It's Over
An Elephant In The Delta Waves (this on'es kinda different from the rest of the album but I really like it anyway...)

 

[sol83]
