Tad - Infrared Riding Hood (RSD 2024, Aqua Blue LP Vinyl)

Tad was a band that couldn't buy a break. First sued for album cover art by Pepsi among others, dropped by a major label (Giant) for showing Bill Clinton with a joint in his hand... and then right when Infrared Riding Hood came out, their A&R rep at EastWest got canned along with all of her bands. Which explains why this 1995 record has never seen a US LP release... till now! It's a sludge and grunge fest (grudge fest?), right up the alley for fans of the Melvins and those whose tastes lean more leather than flannel.
