Their heavy, churning rock\/metal\/punk buzz was a crucial part of Sub Pop’s early years, and, along with peers like Mudhoney, Nirvana, and Soundgarden, they defined the sound that reinvigorated the rock world in the early ‘90s. TAD was led by the physically imposing yet incredibly sweet singer\/guitarist TAD Doyle, with bassist Kurt Danielson (ex-Bundle of Hiss), drummer Steve Wied, and guitarist Gary Thorstensen. With an image that sometimes cast the band as deranged lumberjacks, and influence from Head of David and Killdozer, TAD put a uniquely rain-and-fog-coated Northwest spin on ‘80s underground rock. The band released two albums and a few EPs on Sub Pop between 1988 and 1991, all of which are now lovingly remastered by the band’s friend and engineer Jack Endino (Soundgarden, Nirvana, Mudhoney, Screaming Trees) and repackaged with bonus tracks and expansive liner notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1991, after tens of thousands of miles on the road in support of\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eGod’s Balls\u003c\/i\u003e, and a run of powerful EPs\/singles, TAD released their second full-length album,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003e8-Way Santa\u003c\/i\u003e.

Not a band to rest on its laurels, TAD began to add melodic touches to their sound, as evidenced by the lead single, “Jinx.” Many touring dates and shows followed the record, and a pair of copyright-infringement brouhahas occurred over the original album cover – which was quickly pulled from stores when the couple portrayed in the cover photo objected – and the corporate-beverage-offending art for a 1990 EP. \u003ci\u003e8-Way Santa \u003c\/i\u003ewas the last record with the original TAD lineup, and their last album for Sub Pop before jumping to a major label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis reissue of \u003ci\u003e8-Way Santa\u003c\/i\u003e includes tracks from the “Jinx” single, a 1990 EP, and a handful of unreleased album demos recorded by Jack Endino.
