A Chicago band that worked with Butch Vig and kept shifting their sound across the 1990s.
If you want to hear what they were doing in the mid-90s, 'Damn, That Shit Is Good' and 'Divide And Conquer' give you a good sense of their energy. They're both on that 1995 album 'Saturation.'
They recorded 'Receiving the Gift of Flavor' with Butch Vig in 1993, which included 'Jump Right In', a track that got some alternative radio play despite drawing some criticism. Their catalog has songs like 'Damn, That Shit Is Good' and 'Four Letters, Two Words' that show a band willing to be blunt and a little messy. They never settled into one style, which makes their albums feel like snapshots of a particular Chicago moment.
They formed in Chicago in 1986 as a trio with Craig Finn on vocals and guitar, Mike Eginton on bass, and Jeff Schroeder on drums. After the 1993 album with Vig, they put out 'Saturation' in 1995 and 'Master of the Universe' in 1997, then kept playing and recording less frequently after that.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
