TAD: Busted Circuits and Ringing Earsâ chronicles the rise and fall of the pioneering Seattle grunge band TAD.

Featuring rare footage of the band, from its club days to the arenas, as well as perspectives from other grunge-era musicians such as Mudhoneyâs Mark Arm and Soundgardenâs Kim Thayil, âTAD: Busted Circuits and Ringing Earsâ is a story of the band that could have been.
