Well Dredg fans, let me tell you right now – Chuckles and Mr. But even though fans won’t be expecting a carbon copy of their last release, there is a certain expectation that the band will retain some of their core sound and direction. Squeezy.ĭredg have never been the kind of band to stick to one direction or sound, with every one of their releases sounding vastly different from each other through continual reinvention. Two years after the conceptually based The Pariah, The Parrot, The Delusion (which was undoubtedly the band’s most successful and critically acclaimed album to date), Dredg are back with their fifth full-length effort Chuckles and Mr. But despite boasting a devoted diehard following, mainstream success has still eluded the Californian (Los Gatos, U.S.) based outfit. Over the last fifteen years, the four piece act have released four studio albums and countless E.P.’s to continual critical acclaim. How far can one band remove itself from the past before it goes too far?ĭredg would have to be one of the most underrated and hardest working bands within the underground alternative rock scene today.
