Dredg is a
progressive alternative band from
Los Gatos, California. 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
Leitmotifs unique sound and concept. El Cielo, their second album, is also a concept album.
