URGE OVERKILL "EFFIGY" - 2010 - the NEW song off the NEW album

[Sunshine1965izhere]

Loved this!! :-)

[kamikazerful]

you guys make me do 500 sit ups a day thx dudes :D

[FloydFactor]

We LOVE Urge, and miss them so badly here in Canada. THIS SONG ROCKS, and picks up right where they left off. Can't wait to hear the new record!!!! NEVER GIVE UP, UO!!!

[pyenapple]

@FloydFactor The full album's out now, go get it! It's so worth it.

[pyenapple]

I just noticed this isn't the same version of "Effigy" as on the album. The album version is a slightly different, punchier mix, and has group backing vocals. Sneaky, UO.

[Pantherboy2]

@pyenapple I saw a 7" single of this yesterday in the store. Perhaps there's a 'single mix'?

[pyenapple]

@Pantherboy2 It's possible! Although the single came out right before the album, so it's my guess that the 7" version and the LP version are the same, and that they simply decided to add more backing vocals as they were finishing up the album, months after they'd already released the original mp3 of "Effigy" to the public.

[gawd70]

New album is really awesome!!

Finally rock is back!

[thekincaids]

there still is hope for rock&roll!!! thank you Urge Overkill!!

[pyenapple]

Pre-ordered the new album on vinyl through the UO website today, came with instant digital download on mp3. The new album is AWESOME. So far, my favorite is "Little Vice".

[bigtroubledave]

Can't wait to see them again...The song ROCKS!!!!

[killerontheloose80]

[DrRonPaul]

Sounds like Urge Overkill....

[pyenapple]

Anybody get the Record Store Day 7" vinyl of "Effigy"? It's on colored vinyl. I have mine!

[KOSMICKEN09]

@pyenapple i wanted to get about 50 things on record store day but i had to work and everything was SOLD OUT once i got to the stores! aaarghhhhhhhhhhhh! lol

[toemasie]

@pyenapple Yep! It's a cool shade of green.

[pshootman]

@pyenapple I grabbed one too.....mine is a blue-ish color. Can't wait for the full length LP!!!!

[pyenapple]

@pshootman So glad you got a copy! You, too, toemasie. I hope they'll tour after they do the four big release shows...

[1wirefan]

Wow! This actually sounds good. Can't wait to hear something new I've been wearing out all my UO CDs.

[sstaton]

THANK YOU, URGE!! THE KING (ROESER) IS BACK. NASH KATO BRINGS THA SWING.

[pyenapple]

The new album comes out MAY 10! And the limited-edition "Effigy" 7 inch single comes out on APRIL 16 (Record Store Day 2011!). Support UO and your local independent record stores!

[gawd70]

Criminally underrated band

[gawd70]

Awesome tune ! No band play this way THIS IS ROCK! welcome back!

[unitedempyreloyalist]

Fucking ace!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[turkwa1]

cant wait for the album , its been too long!!!! long live UO!

[derek4ur]

Fantastic--absolutely solid song. Beautiful, tough, tremendous character, depth, lots of cool twists and turns--all of which resolve back at the door of the hypnotic verse. This is great rock songwriting. When are these guys going to get their due? I hope the new album breaks them international--they deserve to be big stars. They should be playing arenas. Go, Nash and Eddie: you're great.

[scroell]

This is really good...

[grgoldner]

Whats the new album called?  Is it out yet?

[pyenapple]

@grgoldner It's called "Rock & Roll Submarine". Comes out in three months!

[subspaceplatform]

Absolutely top notch Eddie vocal here, can't wait for the new album! Thank you!

[cnnonyx]

whoa - what a track!

Come on UO - time to shine, properly this time!

[casperguylkn]

They should call it the 'Bout Fucking Time' tour. I mean that in the best possible way.

[ebertseed]

wELCOME bACK! aWESOME!!!

[britishfreakbeat]

Better than ever, can't wait for the new LP!

[jondotkom]

I know now there must be a God 'cause Urge Overkill are back. I cannot wait for the new album!

[toemasie]

more, more, more, MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[easternmind]

Didn't they cover the song EFFIGY by CCR back in 1992 on the "No Alternative" compilation album?

[pyenapple]

@easternmind Nah, but the song "View Of The Rain" off "Exit The Dragon" LP was on it, only with an early title (as "Take A Walk".)

[easternmind]

@pyenapple

Ah, that's right! I was mixing it up with another song. Oh yes, Take a Walk is so amazing! That was the first song I ever heard from this band. I haven't heard many others, but that song is certainly a masterful piece of music.

[pyenapple]

@easternmind I recommend that album ("Exit The Dragon") if you like the song. You can probably get it for pennies if you buy the disc online. :) Most of the songs have a distinctly dark, melancholy edge to them, though there are a few rockers as well. One of my favorite albums.

[casperguylkn]

@easternmind That was Uncle Tupelo doing 'Effigy' on 'No Alternative'. It's a great compilation.

[pyenapple]

@casperguylkn Oh yeah! Those were the days. My friend John sang a fine version of "Sappy" by Nirvana at karaoke last night...I miss that year.

[eurorocker79]

Hell yeah!! Finally!

The live shows killed and us patient Urge freaks get some tunes!!

YES!!

[matbastian]

Damn, their sound held up well.

[latzia]

does anybody know how to contact Urge Overkill (nash kato, eddie, the management, whatever...)?

thanks in advance.

[spinecraft]

@latzia on their website, there are links on the right for their management's emails.

[robertgoul]

bout time

[gawd70]

Finally!!

I'm very happy today cause the greatest of all are back with a killing tune!

Welcome back Urge you ROCK!

[Fedeitor]

is Blackie on drums??

[pyenapple]

@Fedeitor No, it's Brian Quast from the group Polvo, he's been the drummer for UO for half a decade now. And Mike "Hadji" Hodgkiss on bass from The Gaza Strippers. :)

[GGonTV]

Wow..."alternative" rock...or better still...simply great music with depth in both the lyrics and rhythm. With all due respect to the grungers of the 90s...many dead and done...or sold out…sadly....these gents had it right all the time. Misread, misunderstood...passed off...unfairly...yet always and now again so original...honest, genuinely AUTHENTIC...in all its glory...

How wonderful to see the best band...the quintessential indie act from the 90s...back on track. Bring it on...!!

[sionxxii]

I'll see you all at the Mercury Lounge!!!!

Rock!!!!!!

[GGonTV]

@sionxxii Get the word out...and get them into Mercury Lounge...as these gents will surely rock the house!! GREAT NEW SONG!! - MORE please...!!

[tumamasango]

YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!! THE MOST UNDERRATED MUSIC ACT OF THE 90's! SO INFLUENTIAL IN SO MANY WAYS. LETS HOPE THEY GET THE RECOGNITION THEY DESERVE!

[mdgarmager]

So good!

[Shotgunnova]

Pretty good!

[galaxigrl68]

COOL! Can't wait to hear the full album...

[MrsFish7]

...this makes me feel ten feet tall.......UO are back with new music (AT LAST!!) ....and this sounds like it was worth the wait.......Hollywood New O 90210.....

[johnnydistortiontrio]

Great Song!

[Gunman2007]

[Kowarsch]

15 long years!!!

[Casta099]
