Chicago alternative band Fig Dish's When Shove Goes Back To Push is receiving renewed attention as the group's sophomore album finally gets its first vinyl pressing nearly thirty years after its original release.
The record belongs to an era when countless excellent American alternative bands existed just outside the handful of groups that became enormous, making archival projects like this useful acts of rediscovery rather than simple nostalgia.
Vinyl reissues can give overlooked albums an unexpected second life because they encourage critics, shops and listeners to reconsider material that has long disappeared from the active release cycle.
For '90s alternative enthusiasts, Fig Dish's return to physical circulation is one of today's more interesting archival stories.
