News : Benefit show band #2: Dreadnaught

By on March 2, 2010

Hitting the stage towards the end of our upcoming benefit show will be local veterans Dreadnaught. With over 15 years in the scene these guys have had plenty of time to refine their sound. Last year the band released their latest effort titled “D->0” which you can read our 8/10 review of here.

“As far as I am concerned Dreadnaught simply don’t get the credit they deserve, even after all these years. Their debut “BodyBloodSkinMind” remains a personal favourite to this day and they have always been one of those bands that are continually evolving yet manage to retain a distinct thread in what they do. “D->0”, is certainly no exception to that rule.

Their previous album “Dirty Music”, which came out on Roadrunner in 2005, couldn’t have had a more apt title. There has never been anything contrived aboutDreadnaught and they have always been direct, to the point and devoid of pleasantries, particularly lyrically where the focus has always been on the darker side of life.

Whilst Dreadnaught inhabit that grey area between (heavy) rock and metal they shift between these styles seamlessly, sometimes within a single song.”
