About Me

I have a few new songs posted from the September Acoustic Phily show at the Tin Angel in Philadelphia with Mike Lawson on drums. You can download them.

Here is what the good people at www.shmat.com had to say about fishstick . . .

"Scott Ratinoff from Philadelphia heads up this one man band that upholds the spirit of home produced recordings that actually don't suck. And if he's gotten pretty good at it, well maybe one of the reasons is that he's been doing this for nearly a decade. He has also been released previously on the legendary underground Shrimper label. And like the "-doh" bands from that label, he powers through lo-fi obstacles that commercial radio deems fatal but that true indie philosophy embraces with open arms.

I like these open-faced honest songs quite a bit. One of my favorite tracks is "Somewhere In The Middle" with its prominent drums and bassline. It sort of comes across as Folk Implosion fronted by a mellower Elvis Costello . . . these songs would make Bonnie Prince Billy proud... "
