1990: "Loser", Tad

Speaking of Tad, a pretty worthy follow up to Skin Yard. Tad - named after frontman Tad Doyle but intended to be separately considered as a band name - could retrospectively be written off as a too-sloppy-for-primetime sister band to the Melvins, but these early recordings were largely of their time: heavy on the treble and bass with as much of the mid-range scooped out as possible, this was largely an attempt to embrace 70s metal while still roughly adhering to punk's aesthetic values (an ethos Black Flag's My War and subsequent recordings went a long way toward fostering)
