The Urge - Too Much Stereo

one of the best things to come out of St. Louis

One of my favorite bands. Steve E is an awesome lead. There really is no other band with their sound and it sucks they stopped playing together.

i misss these guys any chance the STL will see steve back with the band????

probably not, but he does get together with various members for his solo project that does shows ALL OVER missouri....just look him up.

fuckin love the urge.

Word.  Saw them open for 311 in 95'. Steve joined in on Fuck The Bullshit. Good times.

what's the point of having a three piece horn section if they just stand around for the whole song? They only play for a few seconds, and even then you can hardly hear them over the guitars and vocals.

Because they have them on other songs. You obviously dont listen to The Urge, plus, a brass section is pure gold.

I have all of their albums except for their first one. They don't use their horn section nearly enough. Most of the time, they have a guitar centered alternative rock sound not unlike 311 or Living Colour. In those songs, the horns play an intro and sit out for the rest of the song. In the few ska songs, they play for less than half the song. I know one of the trombones plays keyboard, but don't have horns in your band if you never use them. At least have them do something else like sing backup.

I got all their stuff but their Cd with Jump Right In.
I think its alright they dont use them that much, When they use them, its a nice effect. On a side note, Stevie E's solo stuff is pretty cool
