The Dreadzone Story
The Dreadzone story began back in 1980’s in West London with the fall out that came after the legendary Clash split. Mick Jones recruited Greg Dread and Leo Williams as the rhythm section of his new band, Big Audio Dynamite and when B.A.D went their separate ways, Greg and Leo formed Dreadzone and never looked back.
Alan McGee’s Creation Records released Dreadzone’s first, groundbreaking album 360. Their seminal 1995 album Second Light recived massive support from John Peel, who included the album in his top ten favourite albums of all time. The top 20 hit from that album Little Britain has since gone on to acquire cult status.
15 years, 6 albums, hundreds of festival performances and thousands of gigs later, Dreadzone are basking in the glory of critical acclaim. Their recently released album Eye On The Horizon received extensive positive coverage around the world, with Rock N Reel magazine declaring it “a minor modern masterpiece”, and The Sun declaring that the band’s fire brand mix of dace energised dub still has power. The Dread sound is now, more than ever, a part of the musical landscape of this country.
Dreadzone are Greg Dread, original bassmaster Leo Williams, the unmistakable MC Spee, legendary Studio One vocalist Earl 16 alongside Chris Compton on guitar and Chris Oldfield on technology.
