BRAD SET TO STORM THE STUDIO FANS BENEFIT
07.25.11

It’s a band, man. BRAD, the longstanding rock quintet featuring Shawn Smith (Pigeonhed, Satchel), Stone Gossard (Pearl Jam), Regan Hagar (Satchel, ex-Malfunkshun), and Keith Lowe are currently recording their self-produced fifth studio album at Studiowarehouse in the Fremont neighborhood of their hometown.

The follow-up to 2010’s heralded Best Friends? is expected for release in January 2012 (label TBA). Thankfully, BRAD fans won’t have to hold their breath that long to hear new music. Tracks from the upcoming album will be unveiled in a number of different ways prior to the full album release, starting with a recently completed new track, Waters Deep. As a show of appreciation for their fans, BRAD is offering the track for free on their website, http://www.thebandbrad.com beginning today.

Another pair of new BRAD songs will be released on limited edition 7-inch vinyl, to celebrate Record Store Day, on Friday November 25th. In addition, BRAD fans can expect online video dispatches from Studiowarehouse during the album recording. In the videos, the band will give fans a birds-eye view into the goings on in the studio, and even plan to do live fan Q&A (details to be announced).

We couldn’t be more excited about our latest collection of new songs, says Gossard. After 19 years of friendship, Brad keeps feeling bursts of blues / soul and rock and roll. With deep gratitude to those who have enjoyed our music in the past, we are ready to unleash ‘Waters Deep’ as a thank you to our fearless fans. We hope that you all tune into our newest channels. Be ready for more music and videos feeding from our studio warehouse.

Known for their emotional and evocative songs, propelled by Shawn Smith’s powerful voice, Brad officially formed in Seattle in 1992. The original line-up was composed of vocalist Shawn Smith, guitarist Stone Gossard, and drummer Regan Hagar along with bassist Jeremy Toback. New bassist Keith Lowe joined the band in 2010, and is contributing to the new album.

The band’s 1993 debut album, Shame, was released through Epic Records, followed by Interiors in 1997. Rolling Stone praised their sophomore album with the pure pop focus of these nuanced compositions, while the band’s cult audience expanded during tours through the U.S., Canada, Australia and New Zealand. 2002’s Welcome to Discovery Park was followed by their fourth studio album, Best Friends?, which was released in August 2010.

    http://www.thebandbrad.com or http://www.bradcorporation.com. I have a problem with these two websites. I'm a postgraduate student staying on campus and every time I try to enter, I get the following message: "This page is unavailable at Brunel" (that's the name of the university). I didn't use to have this problem with bradcorporation.com before. :? :think:

    Dear. Mr. RythmMaster Gossard,

    Could you please make sure you bring that hardrocking vibe to your other band's studio sessions too?

    p.s. how come you're not bringing your awesome BRAD to PJ20? We need some BRAD at PJ20.
    I have no patience for bad music and stupid people...

    Excellent song, if that is a freebie then the rest of the album must be bloody AWESOME!

    Question: Why isn't it Jan. 2012? :o

    It would be nice if BRAD can remember there are more places to tour in the world than the US and Canada! (hint, hint!)

    Ever since I got my iphone I've been listening to my old Brad cds while I'm driving and I love them.

    I'm so ready for some new Brad music!

    K! wonders if there is any credence to online rumours about there being an unreleased Brad album

    There’s Brad songs, for sure,” Stone says. “I think we have a record but Regan [Hagar, drums], Keith [Lowe, bass] and I have to go back in and make the right choices about presenting that record in a way that makes the most sense. There’s lots of Shawn solo stuff. There are some Shawn Smith songs that are beautiful that haven’t been heard yet. It’s going to take a little bit of time to get through that stuff and figure it out and make sure it’s right. So that’s the plan. There are songs; we’re going to put them out at some point. And I think it’s a record."

    I'm still so fucking bummed out that Shawn passed away!  Glad to hear more music is coming though!  What a labor of love for Stone and those guys to go through all the material.
