Help Me Jack Pepsi!

Tuesday, February 9, 2010

I just found out about these guys within the last 6 months or so and I’m so disappointed that I haven’t been listening to them for the last 22 years. TAD is the best band you may have never heard of. They were one of the first bands to come out of the Seattle “grunge” scene and one of the first to sign to Sub Pop. They toured with Nirvana as their opener, got sued a couple times, went through their fair share of band members, and probably a lot more unknown drama. The band had more problems than most and it’s really a shame because they could have been HUGE. Musically TAD is just plain mean and intense, but occasionally there are those brilliant songs, like “Plague Years”, that seem to perfectly define the generation. There’s a great documentary about them called “Tad: Busted Circuits and Ringing Ears” that is fairly in depth and really interesting. There is a link to the trailer is below. But we all need to help raise awareness of TAD, if for no other reason than to hopefully get their vinyl albums repressed.
TAD – Plague Years

TAD – Jack Pepsi

TAD - Dementia
