Buttercup first album?lexicondevil said:
When I finally listened to Brad, I felt so stupid for waiting so long. I really didn't/don't like the band name all that much, which is what kept me from even giving it a chance. When I first heard "Buttercup" I was enthralled. Such soulful singing and chill music. You are in for a fun journey. I'm still waiting for more represses of their albums. Anyone hear of anything coming up?julieooliern said:I was just confessing on discord last night that I feel like a sinner because I haven’t listened to any Brad. They told me I need to start with the first album and work my way forward.0 -
Buttercup is a song on their first album "Shame". Amazing song that still gives me the feels when I hear it.julieooliern said:

JeBurkhardt said:Brad is my favorite side project of any of the them. TOTD is great too, but I love listening to Brad.
Temple of the Dog, Mad Season & Brad. Top 3 side projects, IMO. A Perfect Circle is a close 4th.0 -

Personal Note: Shawn listened to rain soundscapes every night to go to sleep, and on long drives in the car. His other favorite was the peaceful tone and words of Thich Nhat Hanh.
