Nestled in the humble roots of the East County, SLEDD has been on the San Diego Rock Scene for over a decade with various collaborations of musicians and song-writing. The band was formed in 1995 by New York based brothers Peter and Dino DeLuke and quickly became a successful original rock band that provided regional support for bands such as “Blue Oyster Cult”. “Great White”, “Quiet Riot”, “The Vince Neil Band” and many others.

After traveling throughout Southern California playing the entire circuit the band headed in to the studio in 1999 to record their self-funded first album “Dopamine”. Dopamine enjoyed some local Southern California success, as the band produced and marketed the album themselves. In 2001, the band sought out a few friends in Al Pitrelli (Megadeth/Blue Oyster Cult) and Mark Kendall (Great White) to produce their next album, which was recorded at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles. This album was never released. The band continued to gig throughout So Cal for the next few years but they were still looking for the right mix.

In 2009, the band called upon good friend and fellow musician Brian Wheat (Tesla) to produce their third album at Wheat's J Street Recording Studios in Sacramento, CA. The band was looking for a new direction, and the result was a newer stripped down songwriting style with a heavier vibe. Wheat was so impressed by the band that he asked Sledd to open up for their upcoming Fall 2009 Northeast Tour. The Tour was a success and opened the door to new opportunities and a growing fan base across the US.

Sledd is currently working on new material back in San Diego, and they have plans with Wheat to tour again in late 2010 and 2011, including a tour to Europe and Asia.
