TAD - 8-Way Santa [FULL ALBUM STREAM] 

I saw TAD open for Dinosaur Jr in the mid 90s. All I remember is they were really loud and Tad would yell "Smoke Pot!" between every song.

Anyone who is listening to this right now rules!~ Long live TAD!~

All these bands like tad, mudhoney and skinyard had the greatest sense of humor.

Man, grunge's heavier edge didn't survive the mainstream, wish I would've know about artists like them in the 90's. They rule!

Have the original album cover, haven't listened to this in forever. That was an amazing time for music.

When you haven't heard one of your favourite albums/bands in years and you are like, I seriously need to make up for lost time. This record is solid gold.

Holy shit, this is the first time I've ever heard them, was listening to Mudhoney and this was one of the next videos ... I'm in love, this is great

One of all time favorite albums. Should had been a million seller.

First-time listener. My coworker just told me about them. Nice way to get some good vibes flowing in the warehouse. I like it!

Bought this album in my home City of Liverpool UK, so many independent record dealers stocking amazing records, Probe Records especially. My original Lp had the sleeve that was eventually banned, it had the couple on the front, for the full story Google. Mudhoney was my band of choice for Sub Pop, but when 'Bleach' by Nirvana was issued, it gave my Mudhoney a companion, with Tad adding that extra pounding flavour. I was never into Grunge or its scene, but knew the music and understood it, I was there at the birth of Grunge, so I know about all the bands, I listened to most of the albums, enjoyed a lot of them, but Mudhoney, Tad & Nirvana's first album in the late 1980s, early 90s had a place on my Turntable/ cd player, more than the other groups. I saw Mudhoney live at the Liverpool Uni on their 'Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge' Tour, with 'Leatherface' supporting, for their 'Minx' album. Once Nirvana released 'Nevermind', and the commercial explosion happened around them, it lost its appeal, it became too diluted and accessible, great album, but over exposed, still can't play 'Nevermind'. I still play my Mudhoney, Tad, but with Nirvana I only play 'Bleach', it's a psychological thing with Nirvana, the masses made it too mainstream. At least Tad is the secret underdog, that growls mightiest within the Sub Pop kennel.

Wowwww ... Years ago , a friend was mad about TAD , went to see them in concerts etc She was keeping on saying : their lyrics are fantastic , they are funny , they are real etc etc Decades after i can say i found my Graal with TAD . THank you ,

You can hear TAD's influence in SoundGarden's early works. Those guys played together you know.

Jack Pepsi is about an occurrence that actually happened in my home state of Idaho, specifically Nampa - Lake Lowell. Tad and his buddy from Nampa drove their rig out to the frozen lake and nearly died. Heavy stuff.

The sound of my youth.

I got into Nirvana in 1996, and always heard the name Tad thrown around. But this is the first time I actually heard them, and boy can I hear how Nirvana drew from this. Sounds great!!

Always liked Seattle bands, I've been listening to TAD since the late 90's

One of the most criminally overlooked albums of the Seattle music explosion (or "grunge" if you feel you need that label). Most casual fans can rhyme off Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Mudhoney and even Screaming Trees, but Tad is always forgotten - this album is awesome.

Found one of my old Thrasher mags (April 1991) and this band was advertised. Never heard them before. RU-vid is pretty neat for these things.

Such a great album. Has all the sounds of the grunge era - nirvana soundgarden, mudhoney, alice in chains, sonic youth - all of it mixed into one. I saw them live in Alberta in 1992, where they headlined a High River festival. i cant remember the name of the festival but I remember Tad. Took forever for them to set up and do the sound check, but once it started it sounded so heavy and awesome. The stage was loaded with Marshall amps.

I never ear TAD, and wow, that album its amazing. Its a real good grunge /sludge/alternative metal/etc

Such a badass record.

Love this record! Its cool that Sub Pop has been reissuing all the Tad stuff! Definitely my favorite band from the label. At least from the 90s.

WE GOINN THRUUU THE IIIIIICE!!!

30:54 3D Witch Hunt. I love me some Tad pop! Such a great and catchy tune, Tad rules! 54:49 the demo version is possibly better than the album version. Good shit!

It’s a criminal tragedy that they were overlooked during that era of PNW music but the band left us with so many awesome tunes along with many great and sometimes humorous documentary appearances. TAD RULES!!! LONG LIVE TAD!!!

Thanks Sub Pop....this is cool 😎!

I had an 8 Way Santa t-Shirt covered in cigarette burns and stains. Some girl stole it and I'm still pissed.

this album created our band

8 way Santa Forever!

Masterpiece of grunge

So fun discovering new old bands. I am no stranger to NA punk and grunge but somehow these guys escaped me. If I can return the favour to anyone, NOMEANSNO one of the greatest alternative rock/ progressive punk bands ever !

This album has been a major part of my life. STUMBLIN MAN FTW!

Crank it up and from the opening stoner riff in Jinx the memories all flow back

Soundwise it's like Sabbath jamming with Big Black. Fantastic.

Love this album! Definitely brings back memories.....

Anybody else on a quarantine nostalgia trip?

dirty grunge i love it. Great TAD DOYLE.

Thank you SUB POP!! I bought the CD in 1992.

little known fact: this album is a set of prophecies

One of the Best bands ever !!

One of the best albums ever.

Ok, my favorite bands out of the grunge era are Nirvana and Hole. I really have not much use of any other Seattle band you can mention. But my third pick is the most unpopular band from that era and region and that is Tad- and this album is woefully overlooked.

Tad rules

Immortal album!

TAD rules. Sub Pop too.

Bought this whe it came out back in those misty Grease stained days. It's never left my playlist since same w/ Gruntruck Push .

This album kicks so much ass.

I would've listened to this repeatedly had I know about it back then. Good stuff

I mean this album is fukn unreal Jesus!!! I mean they could blow anyone off stage

Caught Tad opening for Soundgarden back in 1994. Great set!

I want bands like TAD to get credit for tuning between every song. Electronic pedal tuners. Before Tad, anyone who tried any of the material on this album or similar would be lost. When a band like Tad is in tune, the way this record has pressed into CD, quality ones and zeros… you can tell they can all hear what each other is doing without all that racket. Fucking put rock ‘n’ roll on rails yo. A whole new level of professionalism. All that DTuning turned out to be SuperTuning is a registered trademark of Pioneer quality underdash cassette decks.L LP

Ironically they were also one of Kurt Cobain’s favorite bands. I recall stories on how he would even play drums for them on occasion and knew Tad Doyle himself quite well.

A shame to see Sub Pop turn into a bland Indie Pop label when they used to have amazing bands like this on their roster.

Great album, great band!! ♫♪♫♪

TAD'S Awesome!

Tad covering alice in chains angry chair is one of the best covers to any song I've ever heard...very true they were over looked back then for the more prettier bands...

God bless those little places like Aberdeen and Seattle's best!

Saw TAD & Nirvana @ Democracy Ghent Belgium (weird exterior of this gramophone record,not similar as mine)

cool band always

Crazy Stuff!

holy sht this band has RIFFS

Flame Tavern 🍻🍻🍻🍻

Maybe there will be bands this good again in the future, now that we have the internet and can investigate influences for ourselves.

fuckin awesome album

Tad fuggin ripz

I Love TaD.

58:26 Eddie Hook is TAD's trip down the mind of Ed Gein. Hence the shirt. Awesome song, very psychedelic. And should have been the 'hook' for the entire album.

I have this album with the original cover...sadly, it's on cassette. Still a treasure. Still under appreciated

TAD4LIFE

Grunge na veia 🔥🖤🔥🖤🔥🖤🔥

If you love TAD, you'll also want to hear: My Sister's Machine - I Slip Away ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Mt_6jLd4M-w.html Melvins - Honey Bucket ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-p2sez21Cyyo.html Love Battery - Out Of Focus ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iRzAh2-Ukjc.html

Let it all be ... live version

I'm hearing little nuances on this that I didn't hear on the casette. Was this re-mastered or something? The @50:00 cut has guitar in it that I never heard before.

i would have totally been into this bad in the 90s if i had heard of them

This album art is dope. I wish they made a music video with them walking through a fair or something. Nostalgic stuff

LOVE this record. Listen to Steve Wied on the new Willard CD Underground!

Remember when Matt Dillon showed Bridgette Fonda her new stereo in the movie Singles!?? xD

Grunge rules!

Alto disco, no lo conocía...

flame Tavern 12:51

Love this album

Perfect😉

🔥🔥🔥🔥

How did I overlook this?

Oi , newbies ! I have a question : Between the last song ( ´Flint`I guess) on Melvins ´s ´King Buzz` EP with Dave Grohl on vocals etc, and ´Jack Pepsi` in this . Basically : who came 1st , the egg or the chicken ?

Jack: Heyyy maan, if we're gonna make it through this alive you're gonna have to settle down and breath the air off the roof! Tad Doyle: Help me Jack Pepsi!

When I think of grunge I think of Tad they're heavy as Fuck but definitely have a gentle side too. It's not too pretty or anything tho it's just damn good.

Are the bonus tracks on the vinyl?

This album got me through basic training.

Wow that's a cool Ed Gein shirt that Greasebox has on!!!

My fav drinkin and drugin theme songs of my youth!

Cd Available again. Just bought one.

Jack Pepsi! Fuck yeah!!

I denied this album back in the days when Grunge became the latest fashion. Now after 28 years I can listen to this album without thinking " All you bastards laid Heavy Metal to its grave"

Dasher, dancer, prancer.... yep! the name fit's.

30:54 Dinosaur Jr vibes.

word

I heard A tad of Robin Trower????

What does "8-way santa" mean?
