Background notes
Archive material and source history
The Big Push formed in Chicago in the 1990s with John Gorka on vocals, John Griffith on guitar, Tom Prasada-Rao on bass, and John Herzog on drums. Their 1994 single "Precious" became an alternative radio staple, with Gorka's direct vocal delivery connecting with listeners.
They followed with albums like 1996's "A Long Day's Journey into Light" and 1998's "Belong," working across folk, rock, and more atmospheric sounds. Songs like "It's Alright" and "Dignity" kept their output steady through that period.
Internal tensions eventually led to Griffith and Prasada-Rao leaving the band. Gorka and Herzog continued as The Big Push, though their later work never quite matched the immediate recognition of "Precious."
