The Urge was formed in 1987 by vocalist Steve Ewing and bassist Karl Grable, with the current lineup of Matt Kwiatkowski, Bill Reiter, John Pessoni, and Jerry Jost solidifying in the early 1990s. After independently recording and releasing four albums – “Bust Me Dat Forty\u201d (1987), “Puttin’ the Backbone Back” (1990), “Magically Delicious” (1992), and the live “Fat Babies in the Mix”(1993) \u2013 the band’s raucous live reputation, as well as radio airplay, brought them to the attention of Immortal Records, who released their 1995 cult-classic “Receiving the Gift of Flavor.” Constant touring throughout the U.S. and Europe, especially with friends 311, Korn, and Incubus, as well as radio airplay of their popular single “Jump Right In” from the1998 album “Master of Styles,\u201d built an enthusiastic, rabid fanbase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
