Urge Overkill are an alternative rock band from Chicago that attracted underground attention in the late 80s and early 90s. While their ironic reshaping of 70’s arena and glam rock left them marginalized during the height of grunge, they managed to appear on the charts with their cover of the Neil Diamond classic “

Girl, You’ll Be a Woman Soon” from the Pulp Fiction soundtrack, which hit #50 on the US Charts, and #11 on the Modern Rock charts. Their single “

Sister Havana” also received some airplay. They disbanded in 1997 due to various addictions and in 2004 reunited, although they did not take their drummer Blackie on tour with them. They are currently touring the US, and a new album of Urge Overkill material is anticipated.

Saturation is one of the best business I ever made. I bought the tape for a ridiculous low price (3€) just for give it a try. Since then I have re-bought it for every audio technology. It's a great album!

UO is criminally underrated. Too bad "Saturation" and "Exit The Dragon" were made at the height of grunge.

None of those artists are similar. Nothing is too similar to Urge. Maybe Foo Fighters a little.

Where's the listing for the Black Cat show on the 27th? Are you canceling on me again? I had tickets to a show at the Hard Rock in Baltimore a few years ago that fell through. Please don't do that again.

Saturation + Exit the dragon are superb albums, too bad the rest of those songs don't get more plays.
