New Brad album! (And Shame reissue)

Brad formed officially in 1992, although the band members had been playing together for a long time before that. The band originally wanted to go by the name Shame, but the name was already taken by a band featuring musician Brad Wilson. Instead, the band took the name Brad and decided to name their debut album Shame.

The album was recorded in October 1992 in roughly 20 days at Avast Recording Co. in Seattle, Washington. Many tracks are taken from in-studio jam sessions. The band members produced the album themselves. The album was mixed by Brendan O'Brien. The album's cover art was provided by Seattle's Crocodile Cafe.

Shame, featuring a raw sound and an eclectic mix of styles, was released to mixed reviews and moderate sales.[6] The track "20th Century" was a minor hit in the UK. The album charted at number 14 on Billboard's Top Heatseekers chart.

While sometimes categorised as “grunge”, the band sit apart in some ways: “Despite all of Brad’s connections to ’90s grunge, neither Shame nor Interiors sound much like the defining music of that scene, instead featuring soft, nocturnal rock, giddy rhythms and glossy funk jams. More importantly, Shawn Smith’s presence defines Brad even more than Gossard’s musical contributions or inherent fame.

Smith is an unusual vocalist even without the nebulous grunge influences of Brad’s apparent circle of friends; adjacent to era contemporaries like Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Gossard and Jeff Ament’s Green River or Regan and Andrew Wood’s Malfunkshun, Smith’s honeyed falsetto starts to sound like the song of another species altogether.” Spectrumculture”

Good find on Virginia's own Plan 9! I grew up going there, and still recall seeing the No Code vinyl when I was a kid and really wanting to buy it, despite not having a record player. I still regret not buying that.
