KoOL STuF: ...A question I have been wondering for a long time, this may sound a bit silly for the first question, but are there any pictures of you guys online? Are there any pictures of you guys at all?
DREDG: I'm sure you can find some, somewhere. If it was up to us we would have none.

KS: Who would you guys prefer to go on tour with? Would you rather get a small band and headline or open for a larger band?
D: Anything's good, as long as we can play a lot of good shows with a good crowd. Getting along with the other band is always good, but that's normally easy.

KS: Who paints all the paintings?
D: That would be Drew.

KS: Let's talk about the new record. I heard that you guys finished most of your new songs, and will soon record them... Can you tell me the new song names? And, is the new album going to be a concept album?
D: Song names are still in the works. The album will have a concept. The goal is to have a different format as to how we present that concept, not like 'Leitmotif'.

KS: Any guest appearances?
D: As of now, no.

KS: Who are you guys looking at right now, to produce the first major release?
D: Unfortunately we are still deciding, so it would be unfair to name names.

KS: What various instruments will be used on the new record?
D: We'll try to play with lots of ideas, without going overboard of course. As for specifics, who knows? What ever sounds good.

KS: Will we get something surprising from the new record or will it continue where 'Leitmotif' left off?
D: We have been trading ideas for this record since we walked out of the 'Leitmotif' sessions. So, normalcy to us could be a surprise to listeners, or boring crap. It will definitely be a proggression as should every record a band puts out. At the same time it will be completely dredg.

KS: Any names for the record, yet? Or is it way way way too early to say? And what exactly is 'Leitmotif the Film'? Are you guys making a home video or am I really stupid, and that is the name of the record? (laughs)
D: Too early for titles. The film is a silent film that Drew is working on. It will basically be a visual representation of 'Leitmotif'.

KS: Is there any chance of re-releasing your first album, 'Orph'?
D: No. That's behind us now musically. It was great and captured a moment in 1997 for us, but we had just begun to grow then.

KS: Also, are you guys friends with Papa Roach and Alien Ant Farm? If so, how did that happen? I know that you guys are all from the California area. Did you guys play shows together before P-Roach made it big?
D: Yeah! We love all those guys. We started playing with P-Roach back in... I think 1997. It was two bands doing their thing. Similar in message and a little different musically, but we clicked. (Alien) Ant Farm more recently. We just became friends from shows; did a mini-tour with them and have kept in touch ever since. Good people.

KS: If you can name your favorite 5 albums of all-time off of your head, what would it be?
D: Wow. The question... Since there is four of us and we all have a different top five, I'm afraid I can't answer that.

KS: What is each member currently listening to?
D: Nothing! We're sick of music
