Separated at Birth? Games of Thrones' Jon Snow (Kit Harington) and Dredg's Gavin Hayes Game of Thrones is a show about long-haired men with leather armor, bloody longswords, and horned battle helmets. It's a world where black magic is growing strong, and it's a tale of intrigue with precious few kick-ass women around to keep [...]

A couple of weeks back Dredg announced a hometown show in which they'd play their 2005 opus Catch Without Arms in full, and we wondered "Why that album? Why now?" Well, we may've just gotten our answer. The PRP picked up on a 5-minute clip from a documentary about the making of Catch Without Arms, [...]

How [...]

Dredg was very energetic the night of August 6th 2011; they also played fairly flawlessly (especially lead singer Gavin Hayes). It seemed like the band was providing their best performance for the last night of the tour due to the fact that they had a large amount of family and friends there. Trophy Fire dredg Around Hungover on a Tuesday , their merch guy ran across the stage wearing a Chuckles (from this year's Chuckles and Mr. Squeezy ) mask on his face [...]

Premieres: Tera Melos - "Kelley" - As the band plays, the undead pull their flesh off. But this is only part of it...those visuals all are seen on billboards around 19802s New York (look for clips from Ghostbusters II ).
