Saturation (1993) more music like this

by Urge Overkill

When they hit the major labels, Urge Overkill followed through on their promise with the blistering Saturation. It's stadium rock by clever post-punkers who are smart enough to not let their carefully crafted image interfere with the music. Every one of the 12 songs is a killer, from the outlandish menace of "Stalker" to the moving ballad "Back on ...

Americruiser/Jesus Urge Superstar (1990) more music like this

by Urge Overkill

Urge's first two albums were recorded at a time when their visions eclipsed their talents -- while there is a lot of good indie-guitar bluster here, there aren't that many memorable songs. With its flat Steve Albini production, Jesus Urge Superstar is the weaker of the records. Americruiser, with production courtesy of Butch Vig, not only has a ...

Exit the Dragon (1995) more music like this

by Urge Overkill

Sonically falling somewhere between Supersonic Storybook and Stull, Exit the Dragon is a dark, lean album, the flipside of Saturation's glossy celebration of '70s rock & roll excess, and easily Urge Overkill's most haunting collection of songs. It kicks off with "Jaywalking," a terse, powerful rocker lamenting "all the evil in this world," which ...

The Supersonic Storybook (1991) more music like this

by Urge Overkill

With the addition of drummer Blackie Onassis, Urge Overkill shapes up into a killer rock & roll combo. It also doesn't hurt that the songs are the finest they have written to date. Although the production is a little flat, there's no denying the force of the best tracks. "The Candidate" boasts a huge, stadium-size riff, "The Kids Are Insane" is a ...

Stull EP (1992) more music like this

by Urge Overkill

It's not the full-throttle rock masterpiece that Supersonic Storybook suggested, but the Stull EP is almost as remarkable. Opening with a straight cover of Neil Diamond's "Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon" (which fits Urge Overkill's image perfectly), the EP is an atmospheric guitar workout. While "Stitches" is a salute to their punk roots, the most ...

Another Cow's Dead (1997) more music like this

by Eddie King

King's recorded output is slight bordering on criminal, so these 12 tracks from the West Side Chicago bluesman are a welcome addition to his scant discography indeed. King sports a strong, gospel-tinged voice and a nasty, thick-toned guitar style that never grates, and both are well served here. Featuring the Blues Brothers-plus horn section of ...

Americruiser (1990) more music like this

by Urge Overkill

Americruiser completes Urge Overkill's transition from just another noisy Chicago punk band into a deliberately slick, polished hard rock machine. Butch Vig's production adds an elegant, hard sheen that makes the album flow nicely, even accounting for the occasional moments of quirkiness (such as the country-flavored "Empire Builder"). "Faroutski" ...

The Urge Overkill Story...Stay Tuned: 1988-1991 (1993) more music like this

by Urge Overkill

With Urge Overkill's leap to major label DGC, in 1993 their former label Touch and Go packaged Urge Overkill Story...Stay Tuned: 1988-1991, an eight-song promotional collection of back catalog tracks from releases including the brilliant Supersonic Storybook and Stull. As a kind of greatest-hits compilation, in hindsight the disc seems lacking -- ...
