Rock and roll group from Chicago, Illinois, USA, based around the core songwriting duo of [a=Nash Kato] and [a=Eddie "King" Roeser]. Kato and Roeser both play guitar and sing lead and backing vocals (depending generally on which of them wrote the song). The current rhythm section is [a=Adam Arling] and [a=Nate Arling], also of The Last Vegas.
After an eight-year hiatus subsequent to breaking up in 1996, Urge Overkill reformed quietly in 2004 to play live shows and solidify the current line-up.
The group released their first new song in fifteen years, "Effigy", on September 14, 2010, as a taster for their forthcoming album, "Rock&Roll Submarine", which is due to be released May 10, 2011. Pre-orders for the album commenced April 26. 2011, and included free instant digital download of the album.
