Label: Sub Pop
Reissued 2016, Originally released 1990
Tad was a mighty force in the late-'80s/early-'90s Seattle scene. 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. 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. This reissue of Salt Lick includes tracks from the "Wood Goblins" single, a split 7" with Pussy Galore, and the "Loser" 7". This material has been out of print on vinyl/CD for many years, and this is its first digital release.
