1:06am Positive Bleeding by Urge Overkill from Saturation

Sonic aussault Saturday! #NegativeCreep! In opinion, #Nirvana didn’t get any better than this! Maybe I change my #Alias accordingly. When they played here with the fantastic #UrgeOverkill, they messed up this banger. #music #alternative #rock #punk youtu.be/xUgI2h35Pcc?...

Ich hab mir gerade Urge Overkill angehört. Hört sich für mich ziemlich nach frühem Grunge an. Mir auf Dauer zu spröde, aber wie ich gelernt habe, ist die Band auch nie aus dem Schatten von Nirvana & Co. herausgetreten, die sie anfangs auf Tour begleitet haben. #urgeoverkill #grunge #1990sMusic

#NowPlaying #RockParaphernalia #AntennaTopper

Musically speaking, me and the 90s didn't really see eye-to-eye. I spent most of that decade with my head buried deep in stacks of dusty vintage rock/jazz/soul/r&b records, ignoring most of what passed for "modern" rock/indie pop of that time. (Hip-hop was another matter entirely; in hindsight, rap was THE defining sound of the 90s).

But somehow #UrgeOverkill bypassed all that: I always loved UO more than life itself. And so of course I sported one of these babies high on my car antenna . . . at least until some asshole broke in and stole my car stereo, taking my UO ball for his troubles :(

URGE OVERKILL
Oui
2022 U.S. pressing

One of my favorite bands who have continued to make really good records in their latter days.
Oui is the second of their “reunion” records, and is TOTAL UO.

Opening the album with a George Michael cover was an odd choice, but it’s pretty great, and sets the stage for a run of great rock songs.

RIP #BlackieOnassis of #UrgeOverkill

Aka John Rowan, he was 57, performed as drummer with the Chicago based band during the first decade of their career, which ended circa 1997.

RIP Blackie Onasses, #UrgeOverkill

I realize Urge Overkill were very polarizing in #Chicago, often to hilarious degrees. Luckily my one moment with them was sweet.

This is them after playing Jabberjaw in Los Angeles in 1991.

#GreatAlbums1990s - #UrgeOverkill#Saturation (1993). Although early discs on Touch & Go gave this Chicago trio cred in the alt-rock scene, Saturation owed more to 70s stalwarts like Thin Lizzy and the adrenalized power pop of Cheap Trick. “Sister Havana,” “Positive Bleeding” and “Bottle of Fur” rock hard, like a Trans-Am hitting the turnpike. Nash Kato sings lead on the barnstormers, but King Roeser gets in a few quirkier numbers to let in some air. #GreatRockAlbums, #Reviews, #Rock

Urge Overkill's Saturation album features the Houston skyline in stylized color.
