Brad is a group of friends from the Seattle area who are musicians, including Stone Gossard of Pearl Jam fame. Brad has a sound different than Pearl Jam's, due to the wide variety of influences brought by its additional members. The distinctive vocals of Shawn Smith (also a member of Pigeonhed and Satchel) are a major factor in this sound.

History

Brad formed officially in 1992 (though the members had been playing together for a long time before that) and in 1993 released their debut album Shame. Recorded in roughly 20 days, with many tracks taken from in-studio jam sessions, Shame is an eclectic mix of styles and a raw, vital recording. Its track "20th Century" was a minor hit in the UK.

Their follow-up album, Interiors, in 1997 was much more polished. It was accompanied by a tour of the US in that year, as well as a small tour of Australia and New Zealand in 1998. The single from Interiors, "The Day Brings", features Mike McCready from Pearl Jam on lead guitar.

A third album, Welcome to Discovery Park, was released in 2002. It mixes the rawness of Shame and the polished, produced sound of Interiors. In April 2005 they released an album of unreleased and incomplete Brad and Satchel tracks called Brad vs. Satchel. Currently the band is working on a fourth album.
