Infrared Riding Hood is the fourth and final studio album by the American rock band Tad, released in 1995 on EastWest/Elektra Records.[1][2][3][4] It was the follow-up to their major label debut, Inhaler.[5]
Production
[edit | edit source]The album was produced by Jack Endino.[6] Due to the departure of founding guitarist Gary Thorstensen, frontman Tad Doyle played all of the guitar parts.[7]
Release
[edit | edit source]Despite enthusiasm and hopes for a long-awaited commercial breakthrough, their A&R representative was fired, and within one week, all of her bands, including Tad, were dropped from the label.[8] It was the second time in three years that Tad had been dropped by a major label.[9]
The album sold poorly, having had very little promotion behind it.[10]

Trouser Press lamented "the sheer redundancy of skulk-fests like 'Bludge' and 'Thistle Suit'."[13] The Philadelphia Inquirer wrote that "the band maintains a big, boisterous sound full of metal-flavored guitar riffs and snarling vocals, with enough rocking, melodic hooks to snag a place on the edges of the alternative mainstream."[14]
