"Fritz's Corner" was one of the singles cut loose from As Good as Dead, Local H's second album, released in April 1996. That record was a rush job with a chip on its shoulder: the debut, Ham Fisted, hadn't sold, Island Records was leaning on the band, and they hurried back into the studio to make a concept album about going nowhere in a small town, drawn from their own roots in Zion, Illinois.
Scott Lucas sings and plays guitar, Joe Daniels plays drums, and the two share the writing credit. Steve Haigler engineered it and produced it with the band, and Tom Lord-Alge handled the mix. It sits in a run of singles from that album alongside "Bound for the Floor", "High-Fiving MF" and "Eddie Vedder".
