Heavy sound from a heavy band. Tad, formed in 1988 by Tom Doyle while living in Seattle, was one of the heaviest bands during the early 90's grunge era. Their music drew more influence from the Melvins rather than the mainstream grunge bands of that time. Despite their talent and popularity, Tad faced continuous legal battles over controversial album covers and promotional material featuring President Clinton smoking a joint. These challenges eventually took a toll on the band members, leading them to pursue other projects.

Tad's current line-up consists of Tad Doyle on vocals and guitar, along with Kurt Danielson on bass. The former line-up included Joel Elman, Joe Garner, and Gary Thorstensen on guitars during different periods between 1988 and 1994. As for drummers, Steve Wied played from 1988 to 1991 followed by Rey Washam in 1991, Josh Sinder from 1992 to 1996, and Mike Mongrain from 1996 to 1999.

After their 1989 debut album, God's Balls, TAD continued to write and record, releasing a string of singles and the Salt Lick EP between 1989 and 1990. Salt Lick features the single Wood Goblins, the video for which MTV banned because it was, to the delicate eyes of MTV programmers, "too ugly." The sounds of Salt Lick are, indeed, wonderfully ugly, thanks in part to the involvement of noise-rock technician Steve Albini (Big Black, Shellac, Nirvana, The Jesus Lizard), who recorded the EP. The band continued to release singles and gain momentum in the press. As TAD himself puts it: "Lyrically we had a lot of subject matter that was meant to be tongue in cheek from the beginning but had been presented by Sub Pop and ourselves as true-to-life. As a result, the press had taken it all seriously and began to feed on and ravenously devour the mythology that we had created." 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 for years.
