Formed in 1986 in Chicago, Illinois, USA, Urge Overkill are
led by National "Nash" Kato (vocals) and his co-vocalist
and drumming partner Blackie "Black Caesar" Onassis (b.
Johnny Rowan, Chicago, Illinois, USA). The line-up is
completed by bass player Eddie "King" Roeser.
They took their name from an old Funkadelic song, and
combined the upfront rock riffs of AC/DC with the pop of
the Raspberries and Cheap Trick. After releasing a
lacklustre debut 12-inch, the STRANGE, I?EP, Urge Overkill
went on to record four albums for seminal Chicago punk
label Touch & Go Records, and supported Nirvana.
With producers that included Steve Albini and Butch Vig, no
one could contest their punk rock credentials. However,
such product placement proved misleading. They covered N More...
Sisters and masters down in Beethoven's dresser (?)
That's just my guess. I have the 45 single, but I've only listened to it a few times.
