Guitars bled when Tad played them and drums were never the same. Tad had a way of coating gnarled slabs of down-tuned fuzz with shrill guitar screams that still sounds alarming. Briefly signed to a major for <I>Inhaler</I> (1993), the production of J Mascis cleaned up the band's noisy slobber. The album struck a nice balance between crudeness and cleanliness. Unfortunately, little they've done since has done anything to impress. - Chad DriscollGrungeen720Fri, 11 Dec 2009 13:42:43 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.1885&rws=%2Ftad%2Fmusic-videos.rss Calling Tad's early Sub Pop material heavy is like calling a black hole dark -- you've only begun to scratch the surface.
