BRAD SET TO STORM THE STUDIO FANS BENEFIT

t’s a band, man. BRAD, the longstanding rock

quintet featuring Shawn Smith (Pigeonhed, Satchel), Stone

Gossard
(Pearl Jam), Regan Hagar (Satchel, ex-Malfunkshun),

and Keith Lowe are currently recording their self-produced fifth

studio album at Studiowarehouse in the Fremont neighborhood of their

hometown.  The follow-up to 2010’s

heralded Best Friends? is expected for release in January 2012

(label TBA). Thankfully, BRAD fans won’t have to hold their breath that

long to hear new music. Tracks from the upcoming album will be unveiled

in a number of different ways prior to the full album release, starting

with a recently completed new track, Waters Deep. As a show of

appreciation for their fans, BRAD is offering the track for free on

their website, http://www.thebandbrad.com beginning

today.  Another pair of new BRAD

songs will be released on limited edition 7-inch vinyl, to celebrate

Record Store Day, on Friday November 25th. In addition, BRAD fans can

expect online video dispatches from Studiowarehouse during the album

recording. In the videos, the band will give fans a birds-eye view into

the goings on in the studio, and even plan to do live fan Q&A

(details to be announced). We

couldn’t be more excited about our latest collection of new songs
,

says Gossard. After 19 years of friendship, Brad keeps feeling

bursts of blues / soul and rock and roll. With deep gratitude to those

who have enjoyed our music in the past, we are ready to unleash ‘Waters

Deep’ as a thank you to our fearless fans. We hope that you all tune

into our newest channels. Be ready for more music and videos feeding

from our studio warehouse.
 Known

for their emotional and evocative songs, propelled by Shawn Smith’s

powerful voice, Brad officially formed in Seattle in 1992. The original

line-up was composed of vocalist Shawn Smith, guitarist Stone Gossard,

and drummer Regan Hagar along with bassist Jeremy Toback. New

bassist Keith Lowe joined the band in 2010, and is contributing to the

new album. The band’s 1993 debut

album, Shame, was released through Epic Records, followed by Interiors

in 1997.  Rolling Stone praised their sophomore album with the pure

pop focus of these nuanced compositions
, while the band’s cult

audience expanded during tours through the U.S., Canada, Australia and

New Zealand. 2002’s Welcome to Discovery Park was followed by

their fourth studio album, Best Friends?, which was released in

August 2010.    For more
