Jesus Urge Superstar

Urge Overkill

Abrasive noise-rock meets ironic seventies swagger. Thick guitar murk and shouted vocals define this raw debut from the future kings of lounge-alternative.

It's like a 70s arena rock band got trapped in a noisy 80s basement and decided to stay there.

A thick, ironic fog of underground grit and 70s rock posturing.

Humor Satire+4.0σ

The writing leans far further into humor satire than the rest of the catalogue.

Moments Worth Waiting For
the abrasive wall of sound that opens the record, signaling a departure from standard pop structures
the rough yearning beauty of the vocal harmonies buried under layers of guitar grit
the sudden delicate squall of the lead guitar cutting through the mid-tempo sludge
