Remember Urge Overkill? Well, if you check out the above video of their cover of Neil Diamond's Girl, You'll Be A Woman Soon from Quentin Tarantino's classic Pulp Fiction, you'll probably go, "Oh, yeah! Urge Overkill...Whatever happened to them?"
Well, they're back. Fifteen years after their last album, the band has reformed - the new lineup consists of original singer/guitarists Nash Kato and Eddie 'King' Roeser, along with drummer Brian 'Bon' Quast and bassist Mike 'Hadji Hogkiss.'
