If someone listens to Scottish band The Urges without being aware of the band's history, the person will probably think the group emerged during the late 60s while psychedelic music was at its peak. The band was actually formed in 2003 and after playing a number of gigs on its home turf, it managed to gain quite a fairly respectable following. Somewhat of a sensation in Europe for a period of time, the group got the breakthrough it deserved in 2008 when it signed to Steven Van Zandt's Wicked Cool label.
