I don't know much about
The Bishops' hometown of Alton, IL, but if in fact they were the biggest success story from the locale (not far from St. Louis) I'll bet this record has much to do with it. Right out of the gate they impress with the nervy "Don't Get Around Much," sounding like a crucial outtake from Soul Asylum's
Made to Be Broken or
Hang Time. While that's generally the peak here, the remaining three numbers hardly slouch, including the three-minute plus spiel-a-thon "Coming in Color," which I perceive to be the Bishops signature-song based on it's inclusion on several indie compilations from the same era. Multiple albums were recorded by these guys in the '90s, none of which I've heard, but am quite eager to based on what I've been enlightened to here.
01. Don't Get Around Much
02. Get Behind Me
03. Coming in Color
04. So Far From Heaven
