Seattle Alt-Rock band 'Brad' formed in 1992 and featured some grunge heavyweights including 'Pearl Jam' guitarist Stone Gossard, vocalist Shawn Smith from 'Satchel', bassist Jeremy Toback and drummer Regan Hagar. They were originally to be named 'Shame' but found another band under that name led by Brad Wilson (never heard of him) so being forced to pick another name they decided on his name instead.... but obviously not in his honour. They did name their debut album 'Shame' instead. The album was released in 1993 and was better than expected from a side project with very little time in the studio. "20th Century" is a bass heavy funky near hit that may have surprised the grunge fans but would have to have won them over. The vocalist Shawn Smith steals the show on "20th Century" with a very un-grunge but fantastic vocal performance. The one and only time Seattle grunge got funky!
