Ep. 167: Grave Mistake: DREDG Shoulda Been Huge!!!

Episode Summary

This week we present another installment of an ongoing series called “Grave Mistakes: They Shoulda Been Huge!!!”. We bring you an in-depth exploration of a band from the early 2000s that straddles the lines of alternative, rock, metal, and prog simultaneously: DREDG! Equal parts Incubus-Tool-Muse-Pink Floyd-U2, yet this band was never able to break into the mainstream. We think this band Shoulda Been Huge!!!

Episode Notes

This week we present another installment of an ongoing series called “Grave Mistakes: They Shoulda Been Huge!!!”. We bring you an in-depth exploration of a band from the early 2000s that straddles the lines of alternative, rock, metal, and prog simultaneously: DREDG! Equal parts Incubus-Tool-Muse-Pink Floyd-U2, yet this band was never able to break into the mainstream. We think this band Shoulda Been Huge!!! 

This episode is rooted in our Should Have Been category. This band is similar to another favorite that we featured on an early Grave Mistake episode; OURS. Kevin had a chance to catch OURS & DREDG on tour together back in 2005, although he screwed the time up and completely missed OURS; but that’s beside the point. Robert is completely unaware of them. Will he agree with Kevin’s lobbying for “Shoulda Been Huge” status??? Have a listen and find out for yourself. 

Songs this week include:

  1. Dredg – “Symbol Song” from Leitmotif (2001)
  2. Dredg – “Same Ol’ Road” from El Cielo (2002)
  3. Dredg – “The Tanbark Is Hot Lava” from Catch Without Arms (2005)
  4. Dredg – “Ode To The Sun” from Live At The Fillmore (2006)
  5. Dredg - “I Don’t Know” from The Pariah, The Parrot, The Delusion (2009)
  6. Dredg – “Upon Returning” from Chuckles And Mr. Sqeezy (2011)
  7. Dredg – “The Canyon Behind Her” from El Cielo (2002)
