I saw TAD open for Dinosaur Jr in the mid 90s. All I remember is they were really loud and Tad would yell "Smoke Pot!" between every song.

[@dick7powell]

Have the original album cover, haven't listened to this in forever. That was an amazing time for music.

[@blachubear]

One of all time favorite albums. Should had been a million seller.

[@garryroche2984]

Bought this album in my home City of Liverpool UK, so many independent record dealers stocking amazing records, Probe Records especially. My original Lp had the sleeve that was eventually banned, it had the couple on the front, for the full story Google. Mudhoney was my band of choice for Sub Pop, but when 'Bleach' by Nirvana was issued, it gave my Mudhoney a companion, with Tad adding that extra pounding flavour. I was never into Grunge or its scene, but knew the music and understood it, I was there at the birth of Grunge, so I know about all the bands, I listened to most of the albums, enjoyed a lot of them, but Mudhoney, Tad & Nirvana's first album in the late 1980s, early 90s had a place on my Turntable/ cd player, more than the other groups. I saw Mudhoney live at the Liverpool Uni on their 'Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge' Tour, with 'Leatherface' supporting, for their 'Minx' album. Once Nirvana released 'Nevermind', and the commercial explosion happened around them, it lost its appeal, it became too diluted and accessible, great album, but over exposed, still can't play 'Nevermind'. I still play my Mudhoney, Tad, but with Nirvana I only play 'Bleach', it's a psychological thing with Nirvana, the masses made it too mainstream. At least Tad is the secret underdog, that growls mightiest within the Sub Pop kennel.

[@user-alkalineblood]

First-time listener. My coworker just told me about them. Nice way to get some good vibes flowing in the warehouse. I like it!

[@synthoelectro]

You can hear TAD's influence in SoundGarden's early works. Those guys played together you know.

[@adammoravek1785]

Jack Pepsi is about an occurrence that actually happened in my home state of Idaho, specifically Nampa - Lake Lowell. Tad and his buddy from Nampa drove their rig out to the frozen lake and nearly died. Heavy stuff.

[@chuckeddy2588]

The crazy thing is that They made it out alive! Tad is a survivor. Other guys did crazy shit like that and never made it through.

[@raycollins9154]

I ran into him and blurted out where was Lake Knowell. In Tad voice he said it’s actually Lake Lowell a man made lake in Idaho. Said it as he saw it he’s a very nice guy and an excellent musician.

[@johntonelli5930]

One of the most criminally overlooked albums of the Seattle music explosion (or "grunge" if you feel you need that label). Most casual fans can rhyme off Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Mudhoney and even Screaming Trees, but Tad is always forgotten - this album is awesome.

[@neilwiththedeal]

I got into Nirvana in 1996, and always heard the name Tad thrown around. But this is the first time I actually heard them, and boy can I hear how Nirvana drew from this. Sounds great!!

[@ac4tv]

Such a great album. Has all the sounds of the grunge era - nirvana soundgarden, mudhoney, alice in chains, sonic youth - all of it mixed into one. I saw them live in Alberta in 1992, where they headlined a High River festival. i cant remember the name of the festival but I remember Tad. Took forever for them to set up and do the sound check, but once it started it sounded so heavy and awesome. The stage was loaded with Marshall amps.

[@shadowzwillfall2]

It’s a criminal tragedy that they were overlooked during that era of PNW music but the band left us with so many awesome tunes along with many great and sometimes humorous documentary appearances. TAD RULES!!! LONG LIVE TAD!!!

Ironically they were also one of Kurt Cobain’s favorite bands. I recall stories on how he would even play drums for them on occasion and knew Tad Doyle himself quite well.

[@shadowzwillfall2]

NirvanaFan - I apologize .... I wish I could recall. I’m quite certain though that it’s true. I seem to recall hearing something similar regarding ‘The Melvins’ as well. I know that Kurt and King Buzzo of ‘The Melvins’ were also good friends and that Kurt stood in for certain band members on occasion and even did a few stints as a roadie for the ‘The Melvins’ too.

Ok, my favorite bands out of the grunge era are Nirvana and Hole. I really have not much use of any other Seattle band you can mention. But my third pick is the most unpopular band from that era and region and that is Tad- and this album is woefully overlooked.

I want bands like TAD to get credit for tuning between every song. Electronic pedal tuners. Before Tad, anyone who tried any of the material on this album or similar would be lost. When a band like Tad is in tune, the way this record has pressed into CD, quality ones and zeros… you can tell they can all hear what each other is doing without all that racket. Fucking put rock ‘n’ roll on rails yo. A whole new level of professionalism. All that DTuning turned out to be SuperTuning is a registered trademark of Pioneer quality underdash cassette decks.L LP
