Led by an ex-butcher Tad Doyle on vocals and guitar, TAD was formed in early 1988 by Doyle and bassist Kurt Danielson, who met at a Christian potluck dinner. They previously played together when Danielson's band Bundle of Hiss played with Doyle's previous band (in which he played drums) H-Hour. Doyle had also earlier played in a Gang of Four cover band called Red Set. They recruited drummer Steve Wied (formerly of Skin Yard and Death and Taxes) and guitarist Gary Thorstensen to complete the original lineup.

TAD was an American grunge band from Seattle, Washington led by Tad Doyle. Among the first of the many bands which came out of Seattle in the grunge era, Tad was notable for the fact that its music was inspired far more by '70s metal than the punk which influenced many other grunge bands. Although their commercial success was limited, their music is still highly regarded amongst grunge fans.

Where does one begin to describe how excellent this album is? Is it the earthy, soulful yelling of the lead singer? The hard-rocking music? The scary slow burn of Candi? The wonderfully haunting 3-D Witch Hunt? The humorous cinematic atmosphere of Jack Pepsi, Delinquent or Trash Truck? The superb guitar and bass playing? The thunderous drumming? The clear, punchy and solid production? Maybe it's just the whole combination and how it goes together so wonderfully.

This is one of THE best of the early-90's grunge albums. It has a bizarre, twisted sense of humor, a perfect balance between the hard rocking and the melodic and the excellent, mountainous vocals of lead singer Tad Doyle. Such a shame that this band never made it big. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates good, unpretentious, humorous, and rugged hard rock. One of the unsung classics of the grunge era.

 Tad Doyle is not someone to fuck with. The second time I saw TAD, 10 minutes into the show he warned some douche bag to stop spitting on him or the guy was going to get his ass beat. 10 seconds later all 300+ lbs. of Tad Doyle jumped off the 5 ft. high stage onto the spitter and promptly smashed the guy's face in. It was great! I meet Tad after the show. A really nice guy and we talked music for about 15 minutes, he's just not someone you want to piss off.

I LOVE this record!!!

TAD - God's Balls 1989 {Out of Print}

TAD - God's Balls

Studio Recordings @320

{Out of Print}

Produced by Jack Endino, his stripped down recording

techniques brought out the raw sound that made Tad

a beast to be feared.

Tribal drumbeats mixed with 70's heavy guitar with

Sabbath type riffs put them apart from the other emerging

Seattle bands who had a sound rooted more in blues or punk.

This is their first album which was released on Sub Pop.

Commercial sales never matched the critical acclaim and

despite later albums getting more airplay, they were always

overshadowed by those "other" bands.

Feel the heaviness...
