Release Notes:
--------
Brad formed officially in 1992, although the band members had been playing
together for a long time before that. The band's line-up was composed of
vocalist Shawn Smith, guitarist Stone Gossard, bassist Jeremy Toback, and
drummer Regan Hagar. The band originally wanted to go by the name Shame, however
the band found that the name was already taken by a band featuring musician Brad
Wilson.[1] Instead, the band took the name Brad and decided to name its debut
album Shame. Shame, released on April 27, 1993 through Epic Records, was
recorded in roughly 20 days, with many tracks taken from in-studio jam sessions.
Shame, featuring a raw sound and an eclectic mix of styles, was released to
mixed reviews and moderate sales.[2] The track "20th Century" was a minor hit in
the UK.

The band's follow-up album, Interiors, released on June 24, 1997, was much more
polished. Tom Moon of Rolling Stone said that "what's most notable about
Interiors...is the pure pop focus of these nuanced compositions."[3] The lead
single from Interiors, "The Day Brings", features Mike McCready from Pearl Jam
on lead guitar. Interiors was met with poor sales, however the band saw its cult
audience expand.[2] The album was accompanied by a tour in the United States and
Canada that same year, as well as a small tour in Australia and New Zealand in
1998.

A third album, Welcome to Discovery Park, was released on August 13, 2002
through Redline Records. The recording of Welcome to Discovery Park saw
contributions from Mike Berg, who had taken over as the touring bassist for
Toback.[2] The album mixes the rawness of Shame and the polished, produced sound
of Interiors. Bradley Torreano of Allmusic called it "another quality album that
still leaves the listener hungry overall for some better songs."[4] In July
2005, the band released an album of unreleased and incomplete Brad and Satchel
tracks called Brad vs Satchel through The Establishment Store.

As of January 2006, the band's fourth studio album, tentatively titled Best
Friends?, had been recorded and was being pared down to a 13-track release.[5]
As of September 2007, the album was still awaiting release as the band reunited
for a small series of live performances, starting in October 2007, with Kevin
Wood (of Malfunkshun) joining the band as an additional guitarist. To date,
there has been no indication as to whether this is a permanent personnel move or
just a temporary addition. Songs from the forthcoming Best Friends? album were
played at the 2007 and 2008 performances.

Brad performed live at Seattle's Showbox on April 14 2010 and news about 'Best
Friends?' imminent release with be posted on their official website shortly. The
release date has been set for August 10, 2010 and will be available through the
Pearl Jam website. Brad also announced on their official webpage that they will
be reopening the Establishment Store.
