http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.39794&rws=%2Furge-overkill%2Fmusic-videos.rssOriginally part of the Chicago indie-boy Touch and Go Hardcore scene, Urge Overkill quickly distinguished itself with a combination of pop smarts and ambitious high/low concept marketing. In an era of flannel, combat boots and ratty hair, the band draped themselves in velvet, sported coiffures, and embraced a sort of sunny Hard Rock hedonism. The band's move towards big, melodically driven riff-rock culminated in their major label debut <I>Saturation</I>, produced by Philly hip-hop producers the Butcher Brothers (better known for their work with Kriss Kross and Cypress Hill). The record hit the charts, and then the band hit again with a muddled cover of Neil Diamond's wonderful "Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon," which featured prominently in the movie <I>Pulp Fiction</I>. After reaching the precipice of stardom, the band couldn't sustain it. Their second major label effort <I>Exit the Dragon</I> tanked, and the group quietly imploded. - Tom HeymanPower Popen720Wed, 25 Nov 2009 10:39:29 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.39794&rws=%2Furge-overkill%2Fmusic-videos.rss Originally part of the Chicago indie-boy Touch and Go Hardcore scene, Urge Overkill quickly distinguished itself with a combination of pop smarts and ambitious high/low concept marketing.
