Urge

URGE started as a collaboration between Adrien Broué and Simon Chaubard from the band Plebeian Grandstand. Alongside their activities in the underground extreme metal scene, they yearned to portray a melancholic yet less ominous reflection of their inner turmoil. With the reinforcement of drummer Hugo Dupuis (Las Aves, Good Morning TV, Eddy de Pretto, Kalika, Rallye), bassist/producer Clement Libes (BRUIT ≤, M83, Kid Wise) and guitarist Mathieu Félix (Orme), the band ventured into recording their inaugural album Here/After. At the core of Urge lies a warning, like the primal cry of a generation facing the prospect of a bleak future, refusing to succumb to a destiny dictated by past blunders. Here/after resonates as an anthem in the struggle for survival and the redemption of humanity faced with its own excesses—a steadfast flame in the abyss, that urges the quest for beauty, meaning, and tragedy even amid chaos.
