The Urges formed in a Dublin garage, with the desire to write stripped down rock and roll. Surfacing in 2004, the band has built a following with regular gigs and festival appearances through Europe, opening for the likes of Billy Childish, The Buzzcocks, Babyshambles, Paul Weller, The Pretty Things and the Chesterfield Kings.
The Urges debut album, PSYCH WARD, has been a favorite on Little Steven s Underground Garage radio show. In 2008, Wicked Cool released a completely re-mastered version of the album, with an exclusive bonus track: Jenny Jenny.
