Don't have much in the details department to share regarding Fire in the Kitchen, but for starters you can visit their website. In fact, what little I can tell you about them I plundered from Used Bin Forever blog, which was my first exposure to the band.
This album, along with a handful of singles, were recorded in or around 1990. Based in New York (and apparently still playing the occassional gig), they have nothing on CD to their credit, and something tells me a reissue isn't in particularly high demand. You might detect trace elements of Mission of Burma, Agitpop, and the like on Theory of Everything, but otherwise they do their own thing, albeit a bit nondescript. "Showboat," "Between the Bottles," and "The Fog," all boast sweet, melodic guitar lines, and help prop up some of Theory's less engaging selections. I might post their singles at a later date.

I picked up this LP back in the day and have always had a soft spot for "Showboat". The most notable thing about FitK was that they were fronted by Bob Bannister, who was later in the far more experimental Tono-Bungay. Bob has a blog her eon blogspot: http://soldbyvolume.blogspot.com/
Link has been updated.
I have a single by FITC - I'd love to hear the album. Can you re-up this one? Thanks!
Absolutely one of my favorite (so-called) indie-rock albums. I picked this up when it came out in '90 from one of the many cool indie rock mail order companies during this era and was blown away by their hummable yet still frenzied Mission of Burma punk attack. Only had this one vinyl so I greatly appreciate having digitally. THANK YOU!
