The Story
Picture a smoky bar, where the air carries the electric buzz of guitars and a crowd sways to the raw energy of alternative rock. Enter Urge Overkill, the Chicago-based duo of Nash Kato and Eddie Roeser, who’ve been crafting their unique sound since 1986. With their unmistakable blend of catchy riffs and gritty vocals, they captured hearts with tracks like "Sister Havana," an anthem that still resonates today. Their daring cover of Neil Diamond's "Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon" found its way into the cult classic "Pulp Fiction," solidifying their place in the 90s rock landscape. As they continue to evolve, Urge Overkill remains a vibrant reminder of an era when music was all about rebellion, individuality, and unforgettable hooks.
