Best Friends?

VINYL FORMAT. Finally a new album from Brad with Best Friends?, the follow up to Welcome to Discovery Park, on Pearl Jam's own Monkeywrench, Inc. "With drummer Regan Hagar, guitarist Stone Gossard formed Brad as a side project after his main band, Pearl Jam, became superstars in 1992. Also featuring vocalist Shawn Smith and bassist Jeremy Toback, the group spent the spring of 1993 putting together material. The band released their first album, Shame, in the summer of 1993. Three years later, they delivered their second record, Interiors, to poor sales but an enthusiastic cult audience started developing. Brad supported it with a tour opening for Ben Harper while their respective bands were on hiatus. Fans of the group championed the disc, but they would have to wait until 2002 before the group came together for another album. With Mike Berg taking Jeremy Toback's spot for most of the disc, Welcome to Discovery Park was released that summer." - All Music Guide
