Urge Overkill remote controlled their destiny with the radio-friendly retro riffage of their major label debut. The band had successfully built a following touring with Nirvana and Pearl Jam, leading to a move from Touch & Go to Geffen Records. 'Saturation' was produced by Andy Kravitz and the Butcher Bros. (Phil and Joe Nicolo) with Nash Kato on vocals and guitar; Eddie "King" Roeser on vocals, guitar, and bass; and Blackie Onassis (John Rowan) on drums.
Roeser says: “Saturation was sort of consciously and almost kind of tongue and cheek was a commercial sound, it was kind of slick and sunny ... Our natural impulses are more traditionalist pop, a two-guitar kind of thing. We came of age during an art rock era, but the voice we're into is more classic rock songwriting. We're not trying to break any rules; it's our take on what a great classic rock sound is supposed to be...I wish I was more experimental sometimes, but that's what I like. It's a weird sorcery coming up with it."
'Saturation' ushered in a wave of success for Chicago based music. As the album hit the streets, they were given even more of a boost when Quentin Tarantino put their cover of Neil Diamond's "Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon" in 'Pulp Fiction'.
"Sister Havana" went to number six on the modern rock chart and to ten on the mainstream rock chart.
