The Dragons (band)

The Dragons were a Welsh psychedelic rock band active primarily in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Formed in Cardiff, Wales, they are notable for their unique blend of hard rock, progressive rock, and psychedelic elements, often incorporating Welsh mythology and folklore into their lyrics. While they achieved a degree of regional success and played alongside notable bands of the era, they never achieved mainstream commercial success.

The band's lineup went through several changes, but a core group of members often included guitarists, bassists, drummers, and keyboard players. Their musical style was characterized by heavy guitar riffs, complex arrangements, and distinctive vocal harmonies. They released a limited number of singles and EPs during their active years, and their recordings have since become highly sought after by collectors of Welsh rock music and psychedelic rarities.

Following their initial disbandment in the early 1970s, various members pursued other musical projects. Interest in The Dragons has experienced a revival in recent years, with reissues of their music and renewed appreciation for their pioneering contribution to the Welsh rock scene.
