Kaatrud and Roeser met at Northwestern University in 1985. They formed Urge Overkill (getting the name from a phrase in the lyrics of the Parliament song “Funkentelechy”) in Chicago, with drummer Pat Byrne, and released an EP, Strange, I…, on Ruthless records produced by Kaatrud’s roommate, Steve Albini. A full length album, Jesus Urge Superstar, soon followed, again produced by Albini, and with Kriss Bataille taking over the drums. These two releases showcased a noise-rock sound common to other Chicago acts of the period.

Their next effort, Americruiser, saw a drastic change in style. Jack “Jaguar” Watt of Baron Lesh and the Still was the new drummer and their sound from then on has been described as a “Stonesy fusion of arena rock and punk”. Produced by Butch Vig, Americruiser was widely praised, and scored a college radio hit with the lead-off track, “Ticket To LA.” Drummer Blackie Onassis took over for Watt on the next album The Supersonic Storybook, released in 1991.Watt returned to Lesh releasing several indie albums and is currently in studio Lesh Studio recording their fifth project The Colorful Album, to be released in early 2008.

After opening for Nirvana on the American Nevermind tour and Pearl Jam on the Vs. Tour, Urge Overkill returned to the studio to record another EP, Stull, in 1992 which featured the tracks, “Girl, You’ll Be a Woman Soon” and “Goodbye to Guyville.” Having a strong following by this time, they jumped from their indie label, Touch & Go to major label, Geffen Records.
