Album Notes
Urge Overkill: National Kato (vocals, guitar); King Roeser (vocals, bass); Blackie Onassis (vocals, percussion).
Recorded at Noise, New Jersey.
The STULL EP--named after a small town in Kansas that purportedly contains one of the seven gates of hell--is arguably the most important release of Urge Overkill's career. The brief six-song recording was the its kiss-off to the Chicago underground, and no song exemplifies the band's state of mind better than its cover of Neil Diamond's "Girl You'll Be a Woman Soon." The song gained UO immense exposure, thanks to its inclusion in the film PULP FICTION, and helped sustain interest in the band following its jump to Geffen Records. The track also perfectly encapsulates the UO aesthetic: it's a cheesy song if not handled right, but Urge Overkill plays it straight and brings out a velvety cool and a rock-&-roll swagger only hinted at in the original. The rest of STULL is also quite good, particularly the title track and "Goodbye to Guyville" (the band's sarcastic nickname for Chicago), but Urge Overkill fans should not rest until they own what is in many ways the band's signature track.
Editorial Reviews
Ranked #12 in Spin's list of the `20 Best Albums Of The Year' - ...this 6-song EP rules. Period. The postpunk, would-be lounge act from Chicago brings style, class, and grace to the comparably lackluster world of alt-rock...
Spin (12/01/1992)
Ranked #2 in the Village Voice's list of the 10 Best EPs Of 1992.
Village Voice (03/02/1993)
Highly Recommended - ...the new Urge Overkill EP is by several nautical miles the best record of the century...STULL presents a prodigiously talented band working at the height of its powers...
Spin (07/01/1992)
...might Urge Overkill (along with Pavement and Sonic Youth) be the saviors of rock & roll?...Urge's latest is well in keeping with the brutal retro-neo of last year's SUPERSONIC STORYBOOK...
