Fig Dish is a Chicago-based band led by
guitarist/songwriters Blake Smith and Rick Ness.
They debuted with two splendidly hummable singles,
Rollover Please and Nimble/ Bury Me (Liquid Meat, 1994).
That's What Love Songs Often Do (Polydor, 1995) is a collection of
crunchy, upbeat, catchy, Paul Westerberg-flavored hooks and power-pop riffs
(Resistance is Futile, Teeming With Anger, Lemonader).
The single Seeds is snappy and whimsical.
Weak and Mean is a copy of the Archers' Harnessed in Slums.
Quiet Storm King, a duet with Nina Gordon, is a mature composition
worthy of classy pop.
When Shove Goes Back To Push (Polydor, 1997) is a bland copy of the
original.
Come On is a standard punk-pop ditty, as derivative as the rest:
Beach Boys' harmonies and Byrds' jingle-jangle embellish
When Shirts Get Tight,
Cheap Trick's panzer-riffs propel Pretty Never Hurts
and the Who's Can't Explain is mirrored in Sleep Startles.
