I bet they stay with Monkeywrench. It's gotta be where they maintain the most control and profit.
I found this wording interesting:
Brad is also expected to commence with a series of releases beginning in autumn 2011, and will tour in support of those releases (details will be announced soon).
"series of releases"?

Wasn't it revealed a while back that they had a ton of material ready, but their schedules were never in sync or something like that? Am I imagining that?
It is kind of surprising to hear more about Brad so soon. Its always been the norm that they'd slowly fade into the background after each release.

i think thats gonna change now...i feel they are treating their band more seriously now...specially with pj doing short tours and doing more relaxed recordings...
i hope they release some live stuff, and some of their b sides...all their music is really difficult to find.

I'm pretty sure they bought their copyrights back from Epic/Sony.
So my guess is we'll see those first 2 or 3 records being re-released on their new label. With an all new fifth record in the works and to be released somewhere this year? They will probably tour in Oktober.

so, this thing popped yesterday.... i really like the idea of them delivering some songs before the whole record...and the video stuff is good too.
BRAD SET TO STORM THE STUDIO FANS BENEFIT 07.25.11
It’s a band, man. BRAD, the longstanding rock quintet featuring Shawn Smith (Pigeonhed, Satchel), Stone Gossard (Pearl Jam), Regan Hagar (Satchel, ex-Malfunkshun), and Keith Lowe are currently recording their self-produced fifth studio album at Studiowarehouse in the Fremont neighborhood of their hometown.
The follow-up to 2010’s heralded Best Friends? is expected for release in January 2012 (label TBA). Thankfully, BRAD fans won’t have to hold their breath that long to hear new music. Tracks from the upcoming album will be unveiled in a number of different ways prior to the full album release, starting with a recently completed new track, Waters Deep. As a show of appreciation for their fans, BRAD is offering the track for free on their website, http://www.thebandbrad.com beginning today.
Another pair of new BRAD songs will be released on limited edition 7-inch vinyl, to celebrate Record Store Day, on Friday November 25th. In addition, BRAD fans can expect online video dispatches from Studiowarehouse during the album recording. In the videos, the band will give fans a birds-eye view into the goings on in the studio, and even plan to do live fan Q&A (details to be announced).
We couldn’t be more excited about our latest collection of new songs, says Gossard. After 19 years of friendship, Brad keeps feeling bursts of blues / soul and rock and roll. With deep gratitude to those who have enjoyed our music in the past, we are ready to unleash ‘Waters Deep’ as a thank you to our fearless fans. We hope that you all tune into our newest channels. Be ready for more music and videos feeding from our studio warehouse.
Known for their emotional and evocative songs, propelled by Shawn Smith’s powerful voice, Brad officially formed in Seattle in 1992. The original line-up was composed of vocalist Shawn Smith, guitarist Stone Gossard, and drummer Regan Hagar along with bassist Jeremy Toback. New bassist Keith Lowe joined the band in 2010, and is contributing to the new album.
The band’s 1993 debut album, Shame, was released through Epic Records, followed by Interiors in 1997. Rolling Stone praised their sophomore album with the pure pop focus of these nuanced compositions, while the band’s cult audience expanded during tours through the U.S., Canada, Australia and New Zealand. 2002’s Welcome to Discovery Park was followed by their fourth studio album, Best Friends?, which was released in August 2010.

I'm going to be real here. Brad's a good band, but not because of Stone.
