United We Stand Press Raves:
"... It's refreshing, shoot-from-the-hip rock and roll." - Seattle Weekly
"...It's most dynamic and diverse outing yet. BRAD's creative palette mirrors the boundless mentality of timeless rock from the '60s and '70s, but Gossard, drummer Regan Hagar, bassist Keith Lowe, and frontman Shawn Smith imbue the music with a passion all their own. It's a landmark for BRAD and one of the year's best records." - Artist Direct
"With their new record United We Stand released last week, Brad is back with some 70's-like grooves and a fresh-sounding energy with tunes such as "Diamond Blues", "Needle And Thread", "Miles Of Rope" and first single, "A Reason To Be In My Own Skin."- Glide Magazine
"The 10 tracks on Brad's latest album, United We Stand, continue to prove the group is more than just a
Pearl Jam offshoot while the group itself continues to forge its own identity based around strong melodies and the soulful and versatile vocals of Shawn Smith." - Guerrilla Candy
"Longtime fans of the band will find much to love on United We Stand as BRAD's reflective, unique song writing approach is intact with Shawn Smith's soaring vocals cascading over throughout songs." - Anti-Music
United We Stand is the latest album from Seattle's underground favorites as they celebrate close to 20 years of musical brotherhood. BRAD s Stone Gossard (Pearl Jam) on guitar, vocalist/pianist Shawn Smith (Pigeonhed and Satchel), drummer Regan Hagar (Satchel), and bass player Keith Lowe (Fiona Apple and
David Sylvian). Longtime fans of the band will find much to love on the ten track United We Stand as BRAD's reflective, unique song writing approach is intact with Shawn Smith's soaring vocals cascading over throughout songs.
Formed in 1992, BRAD originated as an official side-project that developed into something much deeper for fans and band alike. Anchored by Shawn Smith's astonishing vocals, the band's soulful rock sound has spawned four official studio albums. Over the years, Brad has toured off/on and also performed on both Jimmy Kimmel Live! and Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.
