Pendragon

"Pendragon" are an English progressive rock band established in 1978 in Stroud, Gloucestershire as "Zeus Pendragon" by guitarist Nick Barrett. The "Zeus" was dropped before the band started recording. There were a few personnel changes in the early days, but since 1986 the lineup has remained relatively stable. Long standing drummer Fudge Smith being replaced by Joe Crabtree who has subsequently been replaced by Scott Higham who brings high energy along with a huge beaming smile!

The band is still active as of 2012. Their music is characterised by Barrett's virtuoso guitar playing and his highly emotional, if unique, vocal performances. On October 1st 2008 the band released the album Pure. This album features their heaviest songs as of yet, being influenced by the newer Porcupine Tree.
