Description
Tad – Live Alien Broadcasts – Cassette
Futurist Records
Tad were one of the heaviest Seattle grunge bands, fashioning a loud, slow, lumbering grind that — unlike many of their peers — was inspired far more by ’70s metal than punk. Less melodic and accessible than grunge’s biggest names, Tad’s music simply steamrolled over everything in its way, which likely contributed to their being the last homegrown band on Sub Pop’s grunge-era roster to snag a major-label deal. Although the whole band dressed like Northwestern lumberjacks, their redneck image chiefly came courtesy of 300-pound frontman Tad Doyle; their publicity usually emphasized Doyle’s previous job as a butcher, and his lyrics often sent up local white-trash culture. Tad’s sound changed little even as grunge’s heyday passed, and after several years without a record deal, they disbanded.
Live Alien Broadcasts is a live album by the American grunge band Tad, originally released in 1995. The album is now available on a cassette tape.
The cassette tape format adds to the nostalgic appeal of the album, with the tape’s analog sound adding to the raw energy of Tad’s live performance. The packaging is also designed to be visually appealing, with artwork and liner notes that provide context and historical background for the recordings.
The album features a total of 10 tracks, recorded live at various venues in the United States and Europe. The recordings capture the raw power and energy of Tad’s live performance, showcasing the band’s heavy and aggressive sound.
Some of the standout tracks on the album include ‘Throat Locust,’ ‘Just Bought The Farm,’ and ‘Paregoric,’ which feature Tad’s signature heavy riffs and sludgy sound. Live Alien Broadcasts is a great document of Tad’s live performance and a must-have for fans of grunge and heavy rock music. The cassette tape format adds to the album’s nostalgic appeal, making it a great addition to any music lover’s collection.
