When asked in 2016 what he was most proud of regarding TAD, Tad Doyle replied, “Oh, just the integrity we brought to everything we did—letting our freak flag fly. There were no holds barred. We weren’t worried about what people thought of us or how we could look better—just being open to what we were doing musically and always trying to one-up what we had done in the past. Not settling for making God’s Balls three times. It’s easy for a band to say, “Well, people like this, so we’ll keep doing this.” That happens a lot. So, just pushing ourselves, staying fresh. Sometimes beyond our musical abilities.” 

“We laid it to tape as a whole. There was no punch in, punch out, cut and paste, fix this, fix that, getting down to the micro parts of the drums, nudging things, and moving things to make them perfect.” continues Doyle, “The imperfections are what make the songs have character. And that’s what I’d implore younger musicians to examine. Your musicianship is more important than making things sound perfect. Don’t be afraid to let things go wild and haywire with what’s going on musically. Let it take its course, and don’t play it safe. Trust your heart, not so much your mind.”
