About this album

Sound: "A gritty fusion of punk energy and melodic hooks, showcasing Urge Overkill's signature alternative rock sound."

Where they were

By the time of the 'Stull EP' release in October 1992, Urge Overkill had already established themselves in the alternative rock scene following their 1991 album 'Americas'. This EP served as a bridge between their earlier work and their later mainstream success, particularly with the breakout hit 'Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon'.

Why it matters

'Stull' is significant for its inclusion of the cover 'Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon,' which gained renewed fame after being featured in Quentin Tarantino's 'Pulp Fiction'. The EP solidified Urge Overkill's presence in the early '90s alternative rock movement and received critical acclaim for its raw sound and lyrical depth.
