I picked up an album of theirs several year ago title "What If" which immediately became a favorite. The album consists of four to five instrumental pieces which range in style with violins and electric guitar as the featured instruments. I recommend it highly. On the basis of this album I bought a second on which the band had changed its name to simply "The Dregs". This album, "Unsung Heros", had a much narrower range of style, the music was louder and relied more heavily on the electric guitar. I don't like this one as much but the music is still worth a listen. I have always been curious about the direction and history of this band. Does anybody know anything more about them?
