Americruiser/Jesus Urge Superstar 3 reviews Urge Overkill
Touch & Go Records, 1990
Come on if you don't have it.....
+ You have to get used to Urge Overkill's angle on things
This CD was almost the starting point for the popular college band U.R.G.E. When no-one dressed for concerts UR attracted a following with their matching stage gear, clothes, hair, ect. And the great Neo-Retro group backed it up with the most diverce offerings anyone can buy.
