Urge Overkill

Urge Overkill is an American rock band formed in 1985, known for blending alternative rock with glam and garage influences, pairing melodic pop hooks with swaggering guitar work and theatrical vocal interplay. Emerging from the underground scene, they moved from a raw, indie sound toward a more polished, glam-inflected style in the 1990s, often referencing retro rock tropes and ironic lyrical touches. The band's evolving sound and distinctive pairing of singers have made them a notable presence within alternative rock of that period.
