'United We Stand' isn't an empty platitude for the members of BRAD. The title of the Seattle group's fifth studio album is their declaration. After almost two decades, the quartet remains a unified front, more committed to playing together than ever before. Though each BRAD member has obligations to other groupsŚStone Gossard to Pearl Jam, Shawn Smith to Pidgeonhed, Regan Hagar to Satchel, and Keith Lowe to playing with such artists as David Sylvian Śthey overcome the time and scheduling challenges their other commitments bring. Recording 'United We Stand', the band's first album since 2010's 'Best Friends?' was such an enjoyable experience that Hagar says he and his bandmates vowed to "make sure we will try to record once a year, even if nothing comes out of it."
