Real Gone Music

Heavy sound from a heavy band. Tad, formed in 1988 by Tom Doyle while living in Seattle, was one of the heaviest bands during the early 90's grunge era. Their music drew more influence from the Melvins rather than the mainstream grunge bands of that time. Despite their talent and popularity, Tad faced continuous legal battles over controversial album covers and promotional material featuring President Clinton smoking a joint. These challenges eventually took a toll on the band members, leading them to pursue other projects.

Tad's current line-up consists of Tad Doyle on vocals and guitar, along with Kurt Danielson on bass. The former line-up included Joel Elman, Joe Garner, and Gary Thorstensen on guitars during different periods between 1988 and 1994. As for drummers, Steve Wied played from 1988 to 1991 followed by Rey Washam in 1991, Josh Sinder from 1992 to 1996, and Mike Mongrain from 1996 to 1999.

If you enjoy Tad's heavy sound, you might also like similar artists such as Skin Yard, Green River, Malfunkshun, Love Battery, Gruntruck, Mudhoney, Coffin Break,

Tad was a band that couldn't buy a break. First sued for album cover art by Pepsi among others, dropped by a major label (Giant) for showing Bill Clinton with a joint in his hand…and then right when Infrared Riding Hood came out, their A/R rep at EastWest got canned along with all of her bands. Which explains why this 1995 record has never seen a US LP release...till now! It's a sludge and grunge fest (grudge fest?), right up the alley for fans of the Melvins and those whose tastes lean more leather than flannel. Aqua blue pressing limited to 1100 copies, exclusive for Record Store Day!
