Shame

Shame, Brad's 1993 debut, blends alternative rock and grunge-adjacent guitar textures with soulful, R&B-tinged vocals from frontman Shawn Smith. The album pairs muscular, riff-driven tracks with quieter, melodic songs and pop rock sensibilities, reflecting the band's Seattle roots and Stone Gossard's involvement. It introduced Brad as a side project focused on mood and vocal expression, balancing heaviness and melody.
