Like At the Drive-In, Rival Schools, and other post-hardcore Judases who had the nerve to make knotty art-punk riffs more palatable, dredg catch too much heat for their modern-rock trappings. But get past the radio gloss and "Jesus Christ Pose" earnestness, and it's clear why devotees are so buzzed about June's years-in-the-waiting release The Pariah, The Parrot, The Delusion. Check out the lead single, "Saviour" — more Quicksand than Incubus — for a hint. Torche open for Dredg; their 2008 stoner blitz Meanderthal is up there with the best metal albums of the decade.
