Since it opened in 1990, it has been influential in the Pinoy rock scene, and was considered a home by a number of bands that became the most popular recording acts in the Philippines in the 1990s.
Journalist Eric S. Caruncho included Club Dredd on his list of "movers and shakers in popular Filipino culture the past 32 years," published in 2017.
Club Dredd bolstered the 1990s thrash metal & death metal (Genital Grinder, Death After Birth, Disinterment, Kabaong ni Kamatayan, Loads of Motherhood, Skychurch, COG, Cheese, End of Man, Rumblebelly, Disinterment, Mass Carnage, Apostate) scene in the Philippines.
Regular performers included the Eraserheads, The Youth, Afterimage, Athena's Curse (later known as Alamid), Grace Nono, Joey Ayala, Bazurak (whose members eventually became part of Rivermaya), Color It Red, Parokya Ni Edgar, The Wuds, Razorback, Wolfgang, Half Life Half Death, and Advent Call.
Major record labels and radio stations including NU 107 and LA 105 were finally recognizing the potential of the music scene's growing following.
In January 1994 Reidenbach opened the new and larger Club Dredd on E. de los Santos Avenue (EDSA), Cubao, Quezon City.
Among the bands who were discovered while playing here were The Teeth, Datu's Tribe, Put3Ska, Tribal Fish, Feet Like Fins, Sugar Hiccup, Greyhoundz, and Parokya ni Edgar.
No official explanation was given, but it may have been due to a lack of sponsorship or to a raucous anniversary show that ran overtime and had many of the hosts and guests drunk and rowdy while on the air.
