  • Heavy sound from a heavy man. Tom Doyle formed the band in 1988 when he was living in Seattle. During the early 90's Seattle music scene their sound was more akin to the Melvins than to the more accessible grunge bands. They were one of the heaviest bands in town at that time. The band was harassed continually with lawsuits over album covers 8-Way Santa and the Jack Pepsi single. They had trouble with the Inhaler promotional material featuring President Clinton smoking a joint with the caption “This is some heavy shit!”. Eventually the bad luck wore on members of the band so they moved on to other projects. Tad later started a new band, Hog Molly.Current Line-UpTad Doyle - Vocals, GuitarKurt Danielson - BassFormer Line-UpJoel Elman - Guitar (1988-1988)Joe Garner - Guitar (1988-1988)Gary Thorstensen - Guitar (1988-1994)Steve Wied - Drums (1988-1991)Rey Washam - Drums (1991)Josh Sinder - Drums (1992-1996)Mike Mongrain - Drums (1996-1999)

  • Tad (often styled as TAD) was an American grunge band from Seattle, Washington, formed in 1988. Among the first of the many bands which came out of Seattle in the grunge era, Tad was notable for the fact that its music was inspired far more by '70s metal (much like Alice in Chains and Soundgarden, other Seattle-based grunge bands) than the punk which influenced many other grunge bands. Although their commercial success was limited, their music is still highly regarded amongst grunge fans.
